Report for 1932 AMOY Evangelistic W o r k •

Bible Women — T h e chief event of the year has been the starting in evangelistic w o r k of two young Chinese w omen, Miss H o and Miss Jin. Miss H o taught in our Girls’ Primary School after her graduation from the Middle School, then went to Shanghai for a two years course in Bible School. Miss Jin is a graduate of our Primary School and of the Shanghai Bible School. T h e y are living together in a small apartment in the heart of A m o y city. It is a very noisy place but it is central for their work. A n d what is their work? Visiting homes in A m o y city and in the villages on A m o y island, taking meetings, one for children held in their living r o o m every Sunday morning, and helping preachers and pastors in their evangelistic work. W e ask that you will remember these two young w o m e n in your prayers. It seemed best no longer to employ Mrs. K e e w h o for some years has (been Bible w o m a n at the village of Tia-bay on the mainland. A little group of Christians is the result of her w o r k under God. But her second son has lost his mind and, as a consequence, her w o r k wa s interfered with. T h e w a y was opened for Mrs. K e e to live in A m o y and she is the kind of person w h o will do what she can though not employed as a Mission Bible W o m a n . A short time ago her son w a s wandering the streets and was arrested as a vagrant and taken to a place where four or five hundred

such people are confined. His mother went to take him something to eat, as the city gives these people only soft boiled rice without even salt to eat with it. A s a result of her visit she bought a big bag of salt and friends added to the amount and there was enough salt for everybody there. She also went, with some others to preach to these people and then told the missionary she was going to get five hundred little slips with a prayer printed on them to teach them to pray. W e need m a n y more Bible W o m e n of the type of both Mrs. K e e and Misses H o and Jin. “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that H e send forth laborers into His harvest.” L ily n D u r y e e Educational W o r k

Amoy Girls Middle School— One, of the most gratifying factors in the w o r k of the year has been the transfer of leadership and responsibility to the Chinese. In last year’s report w e explained that, owing to the necessity of registration, the management of the school was given over to a Board of Christian Chinese. This Board has taken hold splendidly, as is evidenced by the fact that they were willing to take the financial responsibility for adding a wing to the class-room building. This entailed a great amount of w o r k for, aside from a s u m received from the balance on our current budget, the funds for the n e w building were solicited by the Board memb e r s from our A m o y community. T h e hearty support given us by both Christian and non-Christian Chinese in this undertaking indicates the awakening of social consciousness which promises m u c h for future co-operation. O n the part of the faculty there has also been m u c h evidence of the spirit of service. O u r n e w principal is on leave of absence to the University to complete his course for a degree, and meanwhile the affairs of the school are managed by our executive committee of the faculty. Aside from our full-time teachers, w e have had the gratuitous services of Doctor and Mrs. Pai (the latter a graduate nurse) in teaching Hygiene and First Aid in Senior Middle, as well as the valuable aid of Mr. Ling in directing the Glee Club. ’ While this change in leadership is significant of m a n y things, it does not m e a n that w e as missionaries have withdrawn, but for the present w e are working with them shoulder to shoulder, sharing the burden in every w a y w e can. Aside from the writer, Miss Bleakney has given her full time to the school, Miss B e e k m a n has given part time, and Doctor Holleman has served as school physician. Because our enrollment has increased so rapidly (from ISO to 225 students within two years), it became imperative that w e provide additional class-rooms. It m a y be accounted one of this year’s blessings, therefore, that w e were able to add to our main building an addition consisting of six' large class-rooms— two recitation rooms with a capacity of fifty each, two laboratories— chemistry and physics, a library and reading-room and an art room. T h e rooms are light, airy, attractive— the pride of the school. Far mo re (mportant than the material building, however, has been the very apparent building up of the school spirit this past year, and for this blessing w e are'most grateful. W e have had an especially strong faculty, working not only for the educational interests of the school, but especially for its spiritual interests. A whole day’s retreat before school opened brought us very close together as w e discussed our responsibility as Chris tian teachers to bring Jesus Christ to our pupils both through curricular and extra-curricular activities and through personal work. O n e of the outcomes of this retreat was a meeting every Friday evening for prayer

and fellowship. T h e spiritual activities a m o n g the students have also been an inspiration. While religious w o r k is n o w on a voluntary basis, prac tically one hundred per cent attend chapel daily and over eighty per cent have regular classes in Bible study twice each week. During the year six girls united with the church. In our present graduating class, .more than fifty per cent are from non-Christian homes, but all have expressed their desire to follow Christ, though some have not yet had the courage to confess H i m openly. O n e indication of the spiritual life in the school is the number of volunteers for Sunday service. This year more than sixty students volun teered, and w e found w o r k for them all. W e conducted four children’s meetings (a total enrollment of more than 275 children), two regular S u n day Schools and a children’s worship service in one of the A m o y churches and sent a band to one of our hospitals to do personal work. N o t only pupils but nine of our faculty m embers were engaged in some special service on Sundays. O n Christmas the entire school again divided into groups to bring the Christmas spirit in song and story and gifts to the poor in our various chapels. W e r e the pupils asked- to count theit; blessings this year, I a m sure there are two events which would have a place of prominence. T h e first is an athletic meet held during the spring term, w h e n for two days our girls proved their skill in athletics. O u r n e w physical director is a former pupil. She has been remarkably successful, not only in creating enthusiasm for athletics, but especially in training the girls in sportsmanship. This fall the Educational Bureau of A m o y arranged for inter-school athletic contests, and it needs little imagination to realize the enthusiasm of the girls wh en theirs w a s the championship in both volley ball and basket ball! A n d finally I would mention the Teachers’ Conference held in April, for which w e were privileged to serve as hostess. For five days more than 170 Christian teachers— Middle and Primary— ca me together for in spiration and fellowship. It is the first time that something of this nature has been attempted on such a large scale, but it proved so successful that there was an almost unanimous request that such a conference be held annually. There is no doubt that it furnished stimulus and inspiration to many, spurring them' on to more zealous effort in building up the K i n g d o m of God. T e n a H olkeboer

Amoy Girls’ Primary School— T h e A m o y Girls’ Primary School has had a very happy year. Miss Lee and the staff of fourteen full-time and four part-time teachers worked together congenially and helped in m a n y activities outside their regular teaching hours. There was an enrollment of 368 in the spring term and 347 in the fall term, with 452 names in all on the roll. In the dormitory, there were 49 pupils and 11 teachers as boarders, while 28 others took the noon meal in school. In June, a class of 40 received diplomas, and 37 of them continued their studies in our Middle School. For the first time, our graduates had to take the examina tions put out by the A m o y Board of Education. Whereas some schools merely sent their best pupils, w e sent the whole class, and all but One of the girls passed and received the stamped diploma from the Board of Education. Mrs. Ang, the former principal, returned from her year at the Bible School in Shanghai and took up the religious work, releasing Miss H o for evangelistic w o r k in A m o y . Since Religious Education must be on a voluntary basis now, and outside of school hours, the classes are held during the noon recess, from 11.45 to 12.15 and from 1.30 to 2.00. W e are glad to be able to report that every pupil took part though a few did not share

in all the activities. Separate report cards were given at "the end of the term. Attendance at church and Sunday School was good, half of the students of the school having 100% for the term, and one hundred more over 90 %. Eighteen of the Middle School girls took charge of the after noon Sunday School and m a d e the hour very enjoyable'for the little children. • T h e pupils, through the different branches of their Student’s Associa tion, have looked after the school store, the school library, news bulletins, after-school athletics and the lost and found office and have conducted cleanliness campaigns, book reading contests, etc. T h e y have their o w n little meeting-room with special desks for the heads of the different departments. Outstanding events of the year have been the exhibition of work, to which the parents were invited, a program of drill, folk-dancing and games under the leadership of Miss Chng, and the physical examination of all our pupils, in which the doctors from the hospital rendered great assistance. Follow-up letters were sent to the parents suggesting co-operation in bettering the physical condition of the pupils. This term there were also extensive repairs made, in order that the classroom and chapel a c c o m m o d a tion might be more adequate to our needs. T h e school is about 9 0 % self-supporting. A report is an unsatisfactory w a y of telling of the life of a school. It is the mere bones or framework, without the life. But here w e have a living organization, a “Developing Character” school, and hundreds of children are being brought under the influence of Christian teaching. W e ask your prayers that first things m a y always be put first and that these m a n y pupils and teachers m a y be reached for the Master. E d n a K. B e e k m a n ° Charlotte Duryee Bible School.— O u r school has had over eighty pupils during the year, both young and old, some able to pay the full fees and others from poorer homes w h o find it difficult to pay for their food, since while studying they have not the opportunity to earn their living. O u r aim is that each pupil before she leaves' will k n o w of the love of God, His saving power and His hatred of sin. S o m e of the w o m e n are able to study two or three years and prepare for w o r k in the churches. T h e y receive special normal training and Bible courses to fit them for usefulness. One, w h o graduated some years ago, is n o w our matron, teaching classes as well. Another, for some years a Bible W o m a n in the North River District, is this coming year to be on our staff of teachers. Other w o m e n can study for a short period, some only for part of a term. S o m e of these do m a k e remarkable progress, not only in learning to read, but in understanding the w a y of salvation. W e often find some of these w o m e n from heathen homes, even after years, holding fast the Gospel in the midst of m a n y trials and temptations. T h e first term this year the C o m m u n i s t raid brought m a n y refugees to A m o y . S o m e of the Christian w o m e n took advantage of this opportunity for further study and joined classes in the school. W e were pleased to receive them, feeling it would be a help to them to study the Bible further. T h e y all felt grateful for the privilege. Every morning before breakfast the w o m e n keep the Morning Watch. T h e y are divided into three groups, with a teacher to lead them in prayer and reading the Bible, and each day they memorize a text. Even the n e w comers w h o cannot read are taught the verse, and in this w a y m a n y Psalms are learned by all. W e have a weekly prayer-meeting and. this term it has

been greatly enjoyed. T h e desire to pray has been s h ow n by the number of old and young taking part. M a n y prayers seem so earnest, prayers for their o w n salvation and for their relatives. S o m e pray with tears, s o m e ask a teacher or friend to pray for them. S o m e have said to me, “I had no opportunity to pray, because there were so m a n y w h o took part.” T h e Lord w h o c o m m a n d s us to pray, w e k n o w will answer the longing heart. There is a little “Prayer R o o m ” on the verandah next to the chapel, and there anyone w h o desires m a y go for private prayer. W e hear that m a n y go there to pray. Every we ek w e have had two evangelistic meetings for the n e w pupils and others w h o wish to attend. M a n y of them had not heard the Gospel before. T h e w o m e n seem to enjoy these meetings and respond so earnestly that it is a pleasure to speak to them. There are m a n y in the school w h o w e feel are following the Saviour. All say they wish to be Christians, but one adds, “I a m in a family where all serve idols, and they will insist that I join in the worship. But I want to be a Christian.” W e have had the help of Miss Duryee, Miss Morrison, Mrs. Holleman, and Miss D u nc a n of the London Mission in the school throughout the year, which help has been greatly appreciated.

The Children’s Home .— In a short history of the Children’s H o m e written about a year ago Miss M . E. Talmage wrote: “O f the six w o m e n (three Scotch, three Americans) w h o opened the Children’s H o m e in 1887, three are n o w in our Father’s H o m e above, one is in Scotland, and tw o are still on the H o m e Committee.” A n d n o w she herself has joined the three in our Father’s H o m e above. She resigned as Treasurer of the H o m e at the last meeting of the Committee in 1931. It seemed as if she k n e w her w o r k on earth was nearing completion. O n April 6, 1932, G o d called her to Himself. Only eternity will show what Miss Talmage accomplished for the children w h o were saved from neglect and death. She always took a great interest in the children. T h e writer of this report well remembers one s u m m e r w h e n she had them co me to her house for games and a happy time, taking them in relays an d giving her time and strength tw o or three mornings each w e e k in the hot s u m m e r weather. She used to call the matron to her ro om and together they would pray for the children. W e s a w the answers to some of her prayers and w e believe there were m a n y other answers which w e could not see. O n e n e w child has been received into the H o m e as a permanent inmate. R e d Orange is the daughter of a w i d o w living in a village on A m o y island. H e r father, a farmer, died leaving the mother with four daughters and very little to live on. R e d Orange is three years old, a chubby little girl with a will of her own. Three other children have also been received into the H o m e for the school term and are day pupils at school. O n e of these is the daughter of a former child of the H o m e . H e r n a m e is Valuable. Another whose n a m e is Precious Goodness is the little half-sister of Pity, one of the older girls w h o is studying kindergarten. H e r parents are poor and the child was not receiving the care she needed at home; so w e are giving her a h o m e and letting her go to school. Fifth Precious is the daughter of a w i d o w whose husband was a school teacher in the Tong-an region. About a year ago he and several of the children came d o w n with typhoid fever. H e died, leaving Mrs. Lee with six children. She is an earnest Christian w o m a n and is nobly carrying the responsibilities devolving upon her. T h e H o m e is helping her to provide for the three younger children. .T h e three blind girls are still at the F o o c h o w school but lu-a, the oldest one, will probably return to us this year as Miss L a m b must m a k e ro om

for n e w children. T h e baby in Tong-an is still loved and cared for by her foster mother. . O n e of our older girls was betrothed towards the end of the year and was married a few weeks ago. H e r husband has a position in a small hand weaving cloth factory m the village of Che-chiu on A m o y . Island. She and some friends went by auto from A m o y city to Che-chiu where the g r oom was waiting for her, and they were married in the little church there. W e hear that she is very happy. I close this report with the words with which Miss Talmage closed her report of a year ago: “Again w e thank most heartily all our kind friends, w h o by their gifts m a k e this w o r k for homeless children possible, and w e plead that with all your donations of m o n e y and other gifts, you will ever reme m b e r the most important one, namely to pray for the children. M a y w e heed these words written by one w h o worked and prayed for the children during her life on earth and m a y her plea not be 'n va'n'

L ily N. D uryee CHANG-CHOW

W o m e n ’s Wo r k T h e Chang-chow district is a large one— some twelve stations in all. In peace times one finds it difficult to .cover such a large area, but during times like the past year it is quite impossible. A n d so there are several of the farther-away places that were not visited once during the year. O n e Bible W o m a n was at “D ragon Mountain” w h e n the Reds came. She had to flee to the mountains and remain in hiding for two months. T h e people took her in even at their o w n risk, and she m a d e m a n y friends. This fall she again visited this district and the people were glad to see her and hear more of her message. During October the Chioh-be church had five days of special meetings. Great crowds came, mostly church people, for the object of the meetings was to revive the church from within. , T h e Hai-teng church was visited twice during the year. This church is at rather low ebb and needs our prayers and support. But w e do not despair, for a young doctor and his wife there are deeply interested in spiritual things and are doing all they can to put n e w life into the church. Both of these young people were trained in our. o w n H o p e Hospital For ■ the church there are two hopeful signs: (1) T h e Doctor has just been elected elder, (2) T h e church has a n e w preacher. T h e future looks good. T h e Chang-chow churches are as alive as any in South Fukien. T h e Tang-poa-au church, the one nearest our home, is crowded twice every Sunday. T h e Bible W o m a n does a good work, and the church w o m e n are very cordial and do considerable calling. T h e w o m e n take an active part in all the church work. 1 T h e W o m e n s Union Missionary Society of all the four churches in the city met this fall. T h e y decided to hold meetings more often during the coming year. Several n e w members joined the society by contributing to the wo rk of the W o m e n ’s H o m e Missionary Society. There seems to be a growing interest in this work. Educational W o r k

Chang-choiv Girls School.— T h e Girls’ School is completely registered and the School Board, composed of earnest Christians, is n o w functioning. Mrs. L i m still remains our efficient principal. T h e school was progressing

nicely with full enrollment (180) w h e n the Reds m a d e their visit and stopped the w o r k for the term. Mrs. L i m deserves m u c h credit for the intelligent w a y she handled the situation in the school. Pupils were.sent h o m e at once. O n e child was sick at the time with meningitis, but even she was cared for and sent h o m e none the worse for the trip. After all the children were sent h o m e Mrs. L i m and her little family went to A m o y . She had to go empty-handed, for the police refused to allow any baggage to leave the city. A s a result she lost all ■her possessions. O f course the school lost, too, for soldiers were stationed in the buildings. A s soon as the Reds left Mrs. L i m returned. She went all over the city searching, for school furniture, and w h e n she told the people h o w badly the things were needed and h o w the school tried to serve the city and the country m a n y people gladly returned what they had taken. In this w a y Mrs. L i m saved the school m a n y dollars. This fall school opened again with fewer pupils than last year, for the farther-away girls did not dare come. However, there were 130. T h e same staff of teachers was engaged; so the spirit of the school was as last term— excellent. Bible classes were held as formerly; only the classes met in the Missionary residence, as the school is registered. Chapel exer cises are held in the church right next door to the school. T h e school has a fine reputation and is considered by the authorities to rank first in the city. Because the school is so highly thought of in the city friends were willing to contribute to a subscription fund to help re furnish. Over $300 Me x. wa s contributed. T h e school closed the year with a deficit of only $120, for which, of course, the School Board is responsible. M a n y repairs must yet, be m a d e and m u c h n e w furniture bought, and the special grant from h o m e will carry the school over this great emergency. S o allow m e on behalf of Mrs. L i m and the Girls’ School Board to thank the H o m e Board for their special grant to help cover losses due to the R e d Invasion. W i t h conditions such as they are at h o m e w e realize this extra amount comes as a real gift of love. Women’s School.— During the year 1932 only $40 of Board m o ne y was spent by the Chang-chow W o m e n ’s school. T h e rest was raised on the field. That means the boarding department was self-supporting. T h e first term fifteen w o m e n attended. O f these three-fifths were boarding pupils. T h e rule of our school is: Each pupil must pay for her o w n fo<pd or, as the Chinese express it,— “eat herself.” T h e Mission hires the teachers and pays all other expenses. School was proceeding nicely when, in April, the Reds came. T h e w o m e n returned to their homes. It took one young girl over two months to arrive. She started out for Siokhe by boat, planning to walk the next thirty miles to her home, but the boat-people had to sink their boat to save it from the Reds and then they fled into hiding, taking Siu-kheng with them. T h e y treated her as their o w n daughter and no h a r m ca me to her, but w e were very anxious for her safety. O f this last term the less said the better. T h e teacher, Miss Jin, re signed to w o r k in A m o y . T h e soldiers refused to vacate our school before November. T h e w o m e n in the country did not feel conditions were safe enough to come. T h e city w o m e n had no m o ne y to spend for such luxury as schooling. All the m o n e y the school had was spent in buying n e w desks, chairs, kitchen utensils, etc., etc., for every thing had been taken. T h e lower floor had been used for stables; so the whole place had to be white washed and disinfected. O u r five applicants dwindled d o w n to three, and they, finally, decided to wait till after Chinese n e w year. This is not a glowing report. W e have done the best w e could and the school needs your prayers. E lizabeth G. B ruce

SIOKHE W o r k for W o m e n and Girls A year ago the Siokhe w o r k reminded one of a garden where the beds were in order and the small plants just coming up full of promise, a delight to the eye and heart bur with nothing yet ready to gather. For t w o months after Chinese N e w Year w e carried on w o r k m u c h as w e had planned at the end of 1931. T h e n suddenly, instead of w a r m sunshine and gentle rain for our garden, w e met typhoon and flood, terror and flight. That all the gardeners have themselves returned safely, and that the da ma g e has been repaired as far as possible,— certainly these are matters for thanks giving. A n d though w e can report very little growth in visible results, w e are still convinced that G o d is working in Siokhe, and that what has co me to us will surely w o r k out to the setting up of His Kingdom. It m a y be that w e needed to change our ways of working even mo re in order to be effective in these n e w times, and that nothing short of this apparent disaster would m a k e us realize the presence and power and upholding of our Father and keep us sensitive to His guidance. Picture us, then, at the beginning of 1932, opening a school for upper primary girls in the building formerly used as Girls’ School. Mrs. Chang, formerly head teacher, was n o w director of the Religious Centre, teaching Bible to the girls as well. In addition w e had one w o m a n teacher and part time f r o m one of the Boys’ School teachers. Mrs. Rain wa s still matron. There were three w o m e n living at the Centre and numerous others were being reached in the evening classes and in house visitation. T h e children’s meetings and the Children’s Sunday School were being held each w e e k as usual. O n e children’s group had adopted a session of games and songs, instead of the weekly learning of h y mn s and Bible stories, to see if that would help the members of the group to be fair and truthful and loving in their dealings with each other, instead of merely singing about such virtues. T h e matron and one teacher visited all the families of the Sunday School children and compiled a list of the names and birthdays of all children under four years of age, to be used as the basis of our Cradle Roll. T h e little cowherds still appeared daily at the school gate and put in some two hours of eager study. T h e church w o m e n ’s preaching group wa s going each M o n d a y to one village or another, and the “intensive group” put in twelve consecutive We dn e s d a y afternoons at one village. O n e Bible W o m a n was still in Lam-sin, another was about to return td' school for another year of study, and the third had just gone to Ay-chay (E-che) for a month of w o r k there. F r o m the near-by villages some two or three w o m e n w h o could not leave h o m e long enough to live in the school thought they could come up each day with the cowherds. W e charge no fees for such attendance and they figured that they could afford a few cents for books and extra shoe soles. Evening classes had begun well, and altogether it looked as though w e had an unobstructed path. But— T h e story of the R e d Raid has been told from m a n y angles. For us in Siokhe it meant that foreigners and some Chinese fled to A m o y , while all others w h o could escaped to neighboring villages or camped a m o n g the hills. W o r k in schools and villages could not be resumed for months. Communists were in control in Siokhe between twenty arid thirty days. T h e people went in fear of torture and death, and the fears of some were realized. After the Communists left, the school matron c a m e back to Siokhe, cleaned up the school premises somewhat and recovered some of the school equipment. ■ T h e n came the “white soldiers,”":as local troops are

called, and again these occupied schools and houses as best suited them, helping themselves as they sa w fit. They, too, left behind them indescrib able filth and disorder. In September cleaning and repairing were once more the order of the day. B y N o v e m b e r the building and staff were again ready for regular work, and w e have had four pupils in the upper primary and five in the W o m a n ’s School (This latter n a m e is misleading, as the pupils’ ages are 10, 11, 12, 14 and 26! A n y girl w h o is not able to stay long enough to m a k e the regular primary course profitable for her is put into the w o m a n ’s department). W e have continued h o m e visiting, and the church w o m e n have resumed their weekly preaching. Plans are afoot for evening classes and children’s meetings,— in fact, for all the old ways of service. T h e greatest, change is coming (we think!) in the school. Those w h o were elected to act as School Board for the Siokhe Boys’ and Girls’ Primary Schools find themselves unable at present to undertake the responsibility. It is not only that they have been reduced financially, but they have been mentally stunned by the year’s experiences and it will take some time for them to face the future and its n e w demands. In the meantime w e propose to carry on as best w e may, but always with the ideal that it is our responsi bility and our privilege to help fit the w o m e n and children of Siokhe for a life as full as possible of love and joy and training in the service of Jesus Christ. F r o m present indications it is quite probable that this will change our present school into a place where girls and w o m e n will learn rather less of regular school books, but more of h o m e making, child care and other subjects that will train them for Christian life and service in their o w n homes and communities,— “that they m a y have life, and that they m a y have it more abundantly.” ( M rs . H . J.) M a r y W . S. V oskuil TONG-AN Evangelistic W o r k T h e opportunities for w o r k a m o n g the w o m e n in the villages is just as great as ever. W e always find a welcome and are generally urged to come back. H o w our hearts ache w h e n w e see the need but are handicapped because of lack of workers. W e have not had a worker to take the place of Miss Zwemer, w h o left three years ago. Because of unsettled conditions w e were not able to get to all the mountain stations, but in the spring a we ek of special meetings wa s held at the nearest place, Chhoa-Chhu-Che. F r o m Friday to W e d n e s d a y pre ceding Easter was the time set for this visit. T h e Bible W o m a n went with me. Each day w e went with the Preacher of the church to a different section, visiting the homes of the church people and inviting their neighbors to co me to one Christian home, centrally located, where w e held an evangel istic service in the afternoon. T h e closing day w e invited the w o m e n to an all-day service in the church. A s the mountain villages are far apart, it meant that m a n y had to walk three or four miles, and w h e n w e s a w the large number w h o attended w e realized h o w m u c h they appreciated those meetings. In preparing the program w e kept Passion W e e k in mind. At the morning service two talks were given: one on the reason w h y Jesus ca me to this world, touching briefly on His life up to the Passion W e e k ; the other on Christ’s sufferings in Gethsemane. In the afternoon the topics were the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. A s the auto road makes it easier n o w to get into the mountain district, it was possible the last day for Mrs. Koeppe to c o m e and help us, which w a s greatly appreciated.

W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions

O n G o o d Friday a United Prayer Meeting of the w o m e n of Tong-an was held in the Tong-an church. T h e whole service was in keeping with the day. It w a s a joy to see the wife of our hospital preacher, a young w o ma n , lead the meeting in a quiet attitude which gave solemnity and reverence to the entire service. In April, just before w e evacuated, in fact only three days before w e left, w e had opened w o r k at a n e w place, Ang-tng, about four miles from Tong-an. A s soon as the Bible W o m e n were able to get back they visited the homes, and in the fall w e started the weekly Friday meetings. A t first w e had all the people at the one gospel service. Later, as the number of children increased, w e thought it best to divide the group. Having a children’s service separate from the g r o w n folk has tended to increase our numbers. T h e w o m e n take care of the children’s service while the m e n of our evangelistic party are responsible for the main meeting. W e are hoping in the n e w year to use better methods that will help the children learn mo re songs and grasp more easily the Bible stories. / T h e Saturday children’s meeting that is held in one of our Christian homes is still progressing. After a lapse of a year and a half because of furlough, w e started the meeting in February only to drop it in April because of evacuation. T h e children came daily to the house asking w h e n w e were going to resume. W h a t a pleasure at our opening meeting in the Fall to find that so m a n y remembered the songs w e had taught them! It really is remarkable Because w e had stopped for such a long time and none of these children go to church. O n e we ek w e had a little competition from a neighboring house where they were preparing to send a bride to her n e w home. S o m e of the children went to “look-see” ; nothing is private or secret here. W h e n w e asked about the drop in attendance, one little chap said, “It is better to listen to the missionary than to see the bride.” W e felt w e had one loyal supporter a n d ‘undoubtedly m a n y m o r e w h o showed it by their presence even though they did not voice their sentiments. O u r Christmas meeting was so large that although w e had prepared extra gifts w e still had only enough-for half. Such a disappointment to all! W e couldn’t possibly give out anything. T h e following w e e k w e brought enough for all, each receiving a little cake and a bottle of candy. H a p p y voices resounded as they left the r o o m that day. In December a w e e k of special meetings w a s held for the w o m e n of the church in Tong-an. T h e Chinese Church still has before it the Five Year M o vement: first reviving the church and then increasing the m e m bership. In line with this w e felt the w o m e n needed a spiritual uplifting before w e were able to call others. A Bible W o m a n w h o is employed by the W o m e n ’s Domestic Missionary Society of South Fukien w a s invited to be the speaker. She had a Bible class in the forenoon and expounded the first eight chapters of R o m a n s in such a beautiful w a y that all w h o heard will never forget. It was remarkable h o w she brought out the practical lessons from these deep spiritual, truths. In the afternoon the talk was of the evangelistic or revival type, primarily for the church w o me n . W h e n w e have had mountain-top experiences w e are loath to c o m e d o w n into the valley; and so it wa s with the women. T h e y wanted more. M a n y remarked that they had never understood so clearly what it meant to be saved. W e are thankful to G o d that H e used the Bible W o m a n to help them. A t the last session she spoke of the w o r k of the W o m e n ’s Domestic Missionary Society and at the close there were a number w h o expressed a desire to join. ■ T h e Bible W o m e n continue to visit the homes, trying to help the w o m e n of the church and bring the gospel tidings to those w h o have never

heard. On ce in two weeks w e meet together for prayer and discuss plans for the work. O n M o n d a y afternoons w e generally go to some of the mo re distant villages for evangelistic meetings; on Tuesday w e visit the homes near by; W e dn e s d a y and Thursday prayer-meetings are held in the chapel and church; and Friday the special w o r k at Ang-tng. T h e w o r k of Bible W o m e n is not easy. T h e y need your prayers that they m a y be faithful and be used of G o d to bring souls into the Kingdom. Daily as w e co me in contact with the w o m e n of our district w h o m w e seek to help, w e pray for power that w e m a y k n o w h o w to m a k e His Love k n o w n to those w h o k n o w H i m not. Educational W o r k

Tong-an Girls School.— W i t h praise and thanksgiving w e come to the close of the year. O u r hearts are full of gratitude to G o d for the wonderful w a y H e has led. A s the year opened there were obstacles before us that seemed impossible to surmount. But with G o d all things are possible. In the first term w e had the difficult task of dismissing the H e a d Teacher, w h o had been with the school from its beginning, because she was unable to cope with the present-day situations. There was disharmony in the faculty, which had its bad effects upon the students. Although the "Reds” did not reach Tong-an, still w e had to evacuate. Never shall w e forget those days of anxiety nor the last night before w e evacuated w h e n the girls were so confused and excited. W e were thankful w e could so quickly m a k e arrangements for all the girls to reach h o m e safely. After the district was more peaceful it was not deemed wise to re-open the school that term. T h e fall term found us opening, with an almost n e w staff of teachers. O u r greatest joy has been in the fact that w e have been so united. There has been a oneness of purpose which has helped the school immensely. T h e faculty has had m a n y hard problems, m a n y trials and discouragements, but these became lighter as w e met each W e dnesday afternoon unitedly bringing our petitions to O u r Great Teacher, w h o has promised wisdom to those who' ask. • This term w e have united the Boys’ and Girls’ Schools for Sunday School. In previous years their Sunday Schools, which were held sepa rately, were not very satisfactory. O u r combined effort has proved success ful. T h e classes were composed of girls and boys of the same grade. A Sunday School Teachers’ meeting was held each week to discuss methods of teaching the lesson and m a k e any special plans that would help to increase the interest. A t the opening session w e said that the offerings would be used to help poor children at Christmas. A we ek before Christmas a special offering was made. T h e children marched around the room singing “Ta ke m y silver and m y gold,” placing their gift on the plate at the front. T h e m o n e y was quickly counted. W h a t exclamations of joy and surprise as they saw the coppers, twenty-cent pieces and dollars spread in piles across the platform! Adding this to our weekly offerings w e had $20.00. T h e teachers never dreamed the pupils would give so much. W e had also collected $ 10.00 from friends of the school to help swell the fund. Christmas afternoon ten poor children of the church were invited to come to the service and each wa s given material for” a coat. T h e other guests were given bags of candy. T h e rest of the m o ne y was sent to the Slave Refuge in Kulangsu. All were happy that they had helped to m a k e others happy. O u r Sunday School isn’t perfect. There are m a n y things to strive for, but w e feel thankful and encouraged by the results of this term’s work. Ov er half of the school pupils attended church and Sunday School

every week. S o m e missed .one- church service, and others missed one day. These three groups were given pictures as a reward for their earnest endeavor. . T h e School gave its Christmas entertainment bh Christmas E v e to a packed house. First there wa s a praise service and then the Christmas story w a s dramatized. E v e n though the costumes— the wise m e n wearing bath-robes— would have caused m u c h delight to a h o m e audience, still the play was carried on in very reverent manner. T h e teacher tried to. impress upon the girls the sacredness of the play, and before they left the dormitory that evening she gathered them together for prayer, asking for help that all should be done to glorify God. .• In the problems that are before us this’year w e need your prayers. W e long to have our girls co me to k n o w the love of Jesus, so that w h e n they leave us, whether they continue their studies •in H i g h School or go to their homes, they will have the desire to g r o w in the knowledge of Jesus. T h e teachers need a strong faith. W e need to continue this splendid spirit of co-operation and unity a m o n g them. Fo r these w e again ask your prayers. ■ Tong-an Women’s School.— Sometimes w e give thanks for great blessings, sometimes for small ones, and at times for unusual ones. T h e last .was the case in April w h e n w e were forced to evacuate and in a short time 'close our school. O u r pupils were very few that term, only five, which had discouraged the teacher very much. H o w depressing it was as w e went to visit prospective pupils, only to hear the same reason— “W e have opium fields to care for.” T h e Tong-an district never before planted so m u c h opium as they idid this spring. T h e valley wa s covered with white poppies. Beautiful to see, but w h e n one thought of the evil, harm, misery and suffering that it would bring, the beauty vanished. . Planting <opium takes m u c h care, and a great deal of the w o r k is-done by w o m e n and children. Consequently the w o m e n were not free to attend school. W e felt badly about this, but w h e n the time came to evacuate w e were thankful there were only a few women, as w e felt responsible for their reaching h o m e safely. T h e last term w e had 14 w o m e n enrolled. Three left soon after w e started, two because of illness and one, a girl w h o had never been a w a y from home, because of homesickness. Before the term closed three mo re were called h o m e because of family difficulties. T h e beginners m a d e very good progress in learning to read. W e had a class in memorizing Scrip ture; the beginners learned Ps. 121, the Beatitudes and 30 other Bible verses; the other class learned the Beatitudes, John 1 :1-18, I Cor. 13, I John 4, Ps. 1 and 27. Sometimes it was hard for the older w o m e n to remember the verses without being prompted, but they didn’t want to be behind the others. . .M a n y of the pupils have had sad experiences. W e pray that''as they learn in our school of the W a y of Salvation they will c o m e fto k n o w h o w to cast all their cares on H i m w h o cares for them. ’ • 'w Patience w e need in leading these w o me n , for some are stupid and it takes some' time before they grasp the “Truths” w e are trying to teach them; w i s d o m w e need in -order to m a k e the “Truths” so simple that all will understand; and' above all w e need a close walk with pur Lord in order that living examples of the “Truth” m a y be before them, each day. Will you not pray for these w o m e n and for those w h o teach,them? . • * ‘ R u t h Broekema ■' <

Report for 1932 VELLORE Evangelistic W o r k

The Hancock Memorial Social Center is the “A s h r a m ” for W o m e n . T h e n a m e A s h r a m is a household wo rd in the East and stands for a h o m e of fellowship, prayer, and peace. O f course w e have not yet attained all that our n a m e indicates, but there has been an honest attempt to attain unto the ideal. There have been rich experiences of friendship, keeping in touch with old friends and making n e w ones. Since January a dear H i ndu sister has taken up her residence with us and w e hope for m a n y mo re of her type. ' . ■ ■In July w e opened our first class, which is to be the nucleus of our 8th Standard School, the dream of the future. O u r classes for adults and girls w h o have finished the lower school are well attended. T h e fortnightly lectures and Mothers! Meetings c o m m a n d the interest of many. T h e Social Service w o r k has reached out to touch m a n y homes in the town. ■Granite boulders are taking form under the master hand of the carver

and soon will rise to honor the place of prayer, a lasting memorial to Miss Clara Tallman and the N y a c k fellow-workers. T h e guest house for Hindu Indian friends is gradually coming into use. All our building opera tions have felt the tide of depression which has swept the world round. A s w e face another round of service w e reach out for the hand of the Friend of the Bethany H o m e and pray that H e m a y be the Friend of ,our A s h r a m H o m e . ( M rs. H e n r y ) L. D. M.

Bible Women — W h e n w e go through the reports of our Bible W o m e n w h o visit 300 H i ndu and M o h a m m e d a n sisters in Vellore, w e remember the parable of the leaven which our Lord used to illustrate the spreading of the K i n g d o m of Heaven. T h e H i ndu sisters are impressed because they find something in Christianity which they do not find in their religion. T h e answers to their prayers create wonder and thankfulness in their hearts, and some are m o ve d to bring offerings to our church. _ M rs . L izzie P eter No t until October, 1932, did w e find the right w o m a n to do Bible W o m a n ’s w o r k in the two villages near the Union Mission Training School C o m p o u n d at Viruthampet. I go with the Bible W o m a n every morning to. visit the homes to try to see their needs and to decide where w e should concentrate our efforts. In the afternoons others of our little group of teachers’ wives take turns going with our Bible W o m a n . O n e result of our visits has been to swell the numbers w h o wait twice daily at m y “dis pensary” door. During the worst of the eyefly season I had daily 30, 40, and one day 70 patients w h o m I treated successfully. ■ Three afternoons a w e e k the Bible W o m a n visits in the homes of the very ignorant Christian w o m e n in the outcaste section of the villages. V e r y soon one could notice the difference in our church- services and w o m e n ’s meetings, for the w o m e n began to join in repeating the Lord’s Prayer and the Creed. She is trying n o w to teach them some h y m n s and to help them to establish family altars in their homes. ‘ ( M rs . M a s o n ) E leanor G. O lcott

Hindu Girls’Schools— T h e two H i ndu Girls’ Schools of Vellore, (Arasa m a r a m and Eddai Streets) have m a d e a creditable record and the teachers have all shown keen interest in their work. During Education W e e k these schools along with the other schools of the town gave demonstrations of physical exercises, folk dancing and drills to music, making a favorable showing. Both schools exhibited well-made handwork done by the pupils, and the A r a s a m a r a m School was awarded a certificate for original ideas. T h e Sunday Schools conducted in the school buildings held a big SundaySchool Rally, which is an annual affair of great interest. . ( M rs . Jo h n J.) E r m a D e B oer . . Village Medical W o r k

KATPADI

' ,

Village medical w o r k has been carried on in a number of villages, its aim having been rather to attack the conditions in the villages that cause disease than to treat those ill, although it is impossible not to do the latter as well as the former. In one village has come, as the result of teaching and demonstration, a desire for cleaner ways of living. A s u m m e r school was conducted for wives of village catechists. T h e aim of the school was to help the catechists' wives to help their village w o m e n in their every day lives. T h e w o m e n were taught child-care.

prenatal and postnatal, principles of hygiene, and what to do for better health in the village, also what to do to prevent some of the c o m m o n diseases, and other things useful for their o w n lives and homes and those of their people. Most of the w o m e n were very m u c h interested. T o improve our Christian villages in matters physical, economic, moral and spiritual is one of the largest jobs w e have to do, for the villages are * the foundation and structure of our Christian community. M argaret R ottschaefer , M.D. CHITTOOR Evangelistic W o r k

Bible Women — T h e Chittoor Bible W o m e n have gone on with their patient, unostentatious w o r k of bringing Christ through their lives and words to their Hindu friends. These w o m e n spent five days in a nonChristian village about 12 miles from Chittoor, and visited five other Hindu villages. T h e y had meetings in the early mornings for the coolie-women before they went to w o r k and later visited the old w o m e n and those w h o could not leave their homes. Ea ch evening they conducted a meeting for m e n and women, attended by quiet, interested audiences of 60 or more, some of w h o m came afterwards to ask questions about what they had heard. Village Work— W e are making a special effort to emphasize weekly meetings for w o m e n in the villages, and have had several meetings for the wives of village teachers and catechists, suggesting programs and urging them to start such meetings. In these days w e need to become more and more “village conscious”, to hear mo re clearly the “still sad music of humanity” in these out-of-the-way places where India’s w o m a n h o o d lives and tries to rear its babies and suffers in a physical and spiritual want almost impossible to realize. W e cannot hope to reach the heart of India until w e have brought Christ to these “the least and lowliest” of his children. Gridley School— Gridley H i ndu Girls’ School is very happy this year in possessing n e w floors and an unleakable roof. Mr. John is letting us have a wee spot for a school garden and a place for out-door games. W e boast the finest Blue Bird Troop for miles, as Miss Simon,, the leader, has taken special training for this work. Miss Thanamoney, the Superintendent of the Gridley Sunday School, reports an average attendance of between 60 and 70 w h o show a keen interest and appreciation of the Bible stories and songs. O n e little boy, after a lesson on giving, brought a little basket he had m a d e himself with the top covered except for a slit, “so no one but Jesus will see what w e bring H i m , because H e k n ow s w e bring all w e can”.

Sherman Memorial Girls’ School— Ding, d o n g ! It is seven o’clock on the Sher m a n liner. T h e officers have just lined up for an inspection of the passengers. After ten minutes of giving pluses and minuses for clean and dirty cabins, the captain gives the signal for the prayer gong to sound. For ten minutes all is quiet aboard the liner while the crew and passengers thank G o d for His care of the ship and ask for His guidance in the day to come. Th us begins the day on board ship, and a busy day it always is.' O u r vessel has had a rather comfortable journey this year even though' the bursar, like others in the same capacity at h o m e and abroad, has had to keep a careful eye on the budget. Several n e w H indu and M o h a m m e d a n passengers have been taken aboard, thanks to the friendly relations which

our former captain, Miss V a n Doren, had with our town friends. It was with sincere regret that w e said “ Adieu” to our beloved captain as she iset off to other parts for service to all of India.' She'brought'our craft into being and she has stood firmly at her post through m a n y a storm. ■ In April w h e n w e had our Class D a y exercises,'it was a joy to lower the gangplank' and allow our former passengers to co me aboard for a short stay. T h e y told us m a n y interesting" tales of their w o r k as doctors, nurses, teachers,.and homemakers. S o m e of this year’s class are busily engaged in further study at college, training schools, and medical schools, and some have already set forth into the workaday world of teaching. In August w e had the privilege of entertaining His Excellency, the Governor of Madras. Early in September w e were happy to welcome back .Miss Wyckoff, w h o is our captain n o w that Miss V a n Doren has left us (for a. .time.- O n e of the chief essentials to a safe voyage is absolute co operation between the crew and the captain, and because of the truly loving and sisterly spirit of both our former and our present captains, there has been an atmosphere-of. love and real Christian fellowship a m o n g the staff. N o task has been too hard for the crew, w h o give themselves in loving service for the passengers. • ■ , T h e passengers too, have a chance to. give true and loving service for others. O n Sundays m a n y of the older ones go to neighbouring villages to tell Bible stories and help these brothers and sisters of theirs to live a better life. Others are busily engaged in preparing little story books and ^school materials which will be given to a few village schools at Christmas, and thus w e hope that w h e n weolower our gangplank at Christmas time to allow our passengers to go h o m e ”for. the holidays they will carry with them the true spirit of Service, believing that “Christmas is for Giving and not for Getting.” " D oris A. W ells ' . Beattie Memorial Training and Model School— W e had.hoped, to build an addition to our training hostel, but with the loss of all Government building grant w e have had to wait. O u r ranks are n o w filled with n e w candidates' and every nook and corner is filled. O u r Model School children •are as sweet and as lively as ever. T h e y are an active group w h o Jkeep us all on our tiptoe, and they are so responsive it is a joy to w o r k with them. . T h e Senior Christian Endeavor have been busy with a n e w project. T h e y have started a meeting with the little ones w h o could not attend the Junior Christian Endeavor. O u r school d r a m a wa s a great success and enabled the children to give their contribution to the Centenary F u n d as well as to buy n e w books for our library. In their Sunday School classes the children have been making pictures and calendars and other useful things for the village schools to use. A s w e w o r k and play together w e try to bring to the children and students a greater vision for service and an appreciation of G o d ’s blessings. E sther J.'

■• Bible Women’s Work— A little survey of the conditions in the homes of the 320: pupils visited by our six Bible W o m e n has produced the fol lowing figures:— 1 6 % of the homes have a fair amount of-light and air; in 3 5 % of them improvements'.in cleanliness and surroundings are apparent; •15% of the w o m e n can read,',;and about- 2 0 % of them can sew a little.

W e are doing good w o r k in Physical Education, and have fitted the dormitory as a gymnasium with cross-bars arid rings. A set of swings has been set up, and the children love to swing.. \ 'r • •' “W e are proud of’our Girl Guide Company, which for the second time has w o n the district shield in competition 'with Chittoor and Palmaner.

T h e varied vocational work, such as handwork, sewing, gardening, spinning, basket-making and poultry-keeping, '-is progressing excellently. ‘ .“After visiting our School, "His'’’Excellency, the Governor of Madras, wrote: ‘M u c h loving care is given .to-the children;■ they are all evidently ideally happy and that •can onty be the result of the attention they receive.’ “W e hope to be able to do better and worthier'.work the succeeding year.

in the n e w electric lights, and in the added rooms m a d e possible by re-' modeling the part in which the nurses formerly lived. T h e large Christian community in this area are m o r e and mo re appre ciative of the advantages to be had by coming to the Hospital w h e n ill, so that 3 2 % of our in-patients are n o w from the poor Christian villages. Th ey are too poor to pay for their treatment and, usually, the poorer they are the longer their stay a m o n g us and the greater their need. W h e n strong enough they have daily instruction in the W o rd , for w e believe that the great need in our Indian Christian Church is a deepening of the Christian experience, a deeper sense of sin, and a greater personal experience of G o d ’s forgiveness, love and mercy. ' There is another large percentage of poor Hindus and M o h a m m e d a n s w h o co me to us for help. T h e n there is about 1 8 % able to pay our small Hospital charges, but not even 1% able to pay proper medical or surgical fees. W e love this w o r k for our very poor people and w e groan w h e n w e remember that self-support is urged upon us. If w e are to take in as m a n y patients as w e can accommodate (between 60 and 70 patients) our income, from whatever source, must be greatly increased. W e pray for light and guidance on this very important question, for w e must be ready to take in all who. co me to us and do for them, whether they can pay or not. A s w e w o r k with and for them, w e pray that w e m a y be kept pure and meet for His service, and that they m a y be led into the W a y , the Truth and the Life. L o u i s a H. H a r t , M.D.

Nurses’ Training— O u r Nurses’ graduating class this year boasts but one graduate, and there were four Juniors for the Second Year examina tion. All passed well in the practical work, the Senior gaining 91%. M u c h of our teaching is n o w in English as it is best for the nurses to k n o w as m u c h English as possible w h e n they finish. T h e y are then eligible for Government Hospitals, Social Centres, etc. Since nurses are often in greater d emand and at a better salary than teachers even, "people are more willing that their daughters enter this profession, and the girls themselves are more eager to take it up also, but w e could take but five n e w probationers this year. It has been splendid for the nurses to have Miss Brumler give them so m u c h careful supervision in the practical part of the w o r k while I could also do more in the theoretical part. It must be here a little and there a little, day by day, over and over again. O u r maternity w o r k has been better again this year. W e have had six pairs of twins! O u r two upstairs rooms with European accommodations have been quite in d emand since they were finished. O n e of our nurses w h o took a Bible course has returned to us and does personal w o r k a m o n g the patients. Every evening she and the other nurses conduct prayers in one of the wards of the Hospital. T w o or three of our hospital workers with one or two of the zenana workers have visited four villages every week, going once a month to each village.

Bible Women’s Work— T h e experiment tried last year of putting ex perienced Bible W o m e n to w o r k solely for Christian w o m e n in our villages has been greatly blessed. In one place the w o r k of the Bible W o m a n has borne fruit in the baptism of three young w omen. T h e usual Mothers’ Meetings and lectures by outside visitors have been held. O u r H i ndu Girls’ School is a center for all w o m e n ’s activities and amusements in the town.

T h e Bible W o m e n go in and out a m o n g the homes of the better classes and are always welcomed. . M a n y pleasant trips to near-by villages have been taken by Bible W o m e n and Teachers, thus visiting mdst of the places within five miles of Punganur. Friendly parties at the Mission Bungalow have brought to gether Hindu and Christian women. T h e Christian workers of Punganur meet often for prayer together, and w e realize that w e are not working alone but that the Holy Spirit is taking control and that H e will, in His good time, bring forth the fruits w e long for. Hindu Girls’ School— In April, 1932, on the occasion of the Forty-third Anniversary of the Punganur H i ndu Girls’ School, w e had the joy of opening the n e w school playground. M o n e y for this was sent out by the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions several years ago, but there was great difficulty in getting the land. It is desired that all young w o m e n of P u n g a nur shall feel free to use this playground, and as m u c h privacy as possible has been attained by a high wall. T h e school girls play every day after school and during recess time. T h e enrollment of the school has increased to 140, with seven classes. T h e annual inspection of the school brought out an excellent report, and w h e n the highest official paid a visit unexpectedly, she wrote, “It is one of the best schools of its grade in m y Circle.” ( M rs .H e n r y J.)

The Women's Industrial School— It is not an easy thing to get pupils to w o r k for the joy of work i n g ; but such is our aim. Jesus, the Carpen ter, is our inspiration in the early morning watch and through the daily routine of w o r k : caring for the silk worms, reeling the thread; preparing the soil, sowing the seed, weeding and watering the gardens; drawing water for the daily baths, caring for the sick, scrubbing and cleaning the cottage and courtyard and drains; learning to cut patterns and m a k e clothes, and h o w to teach this to others; taking care of the goats and chickens and o x e n ; embroidering the beautiful cross-stitch patterns on linens, whereby to earn a living; learning to read and write and keep accounts, studying the daily Bible lesson and methods of Christian uplift; cooking the daily food, and tending the flowers at the cottage door-step. There is a song and prayer at midday, and at eventide, w h e n the day’s w o r k is done. S o the day goes for the little family of nine girls in each of the ten cottages. ' M ary E.

Bible Women’s Work atid Hindu Girls’ Schools— There has been co operation on the part of all the workers and a friendly atmosphere in all homes visited. W e have been surprised at the large crowds that have gathered in the H i ndu homes, all eager to hear the Gospel message. Mrs. William, the'Indian Supervisor of the Ranipet Bible W o m e n , says that there are m a n y secret followers of the Saviour in Ranipet. O n e old w o m a n makes this confession— ‘T heard of Jesus Christ through a Bible W o m a n w h e n I was young, and I believed in Him, and ever since I have not fasted or worshiped idols. T h e only G o d I worship is Jesus Christ. Arcot and Kaveripak H i ndu Girls’ Schools have carried on with the routine work, plus Mothers’ Meetings and Sunday School classes. ( M rs . H. E.)

Higher Elementary Girls’ Boarding School— W o have striven for growth m our school, mental, physical and spiritual growth, for the promot ing of the finest type of Indian girlhood. T h e mental side of the girls’ growth has been well taken care of by our staff of' well-trained teachers whose willingness to follow all suggestions has aided greatly in carrying out our aim. Drills and games during school hours, supervised play every evening, w o r k in the garden and with the poultry, wholesome food, plenty of rest and sleep, and the nearness of medical assistance keep the bodies of our girls in almost perfect health. Participation in studies, duties, play, Blue Bird and Guide Companies, our literary society, Junior and Senior Christian Endeavor, evangelistic w o r k meetings, chapel services, Sunday School, our system of self government the daily contact with upright Christian women, all contribute to the spiritual .growth of the girls. .

quite a number professing secretly their faith in the one true God'and in Jesus Christ as the only Saviour. •' . Since July first-one of the town workers was transferred to village work. There she has regular lessons' with ignorant Christian w o m e n and also for so me not yet Christians.

Hindu Girls’ Schools— In the- two schools of Arni town the H e a d masters have been replaced with trained Headmistresses of a higher grade. Heretofore the girls left school after finishing the 5th class.

Four years ago a citizen of Tindi v a n a m withdrew his daughter from our Girls’ School because he objected to her studying the Bible. Only recently he brought the girl back, asking to have her re-admitted, with no objection to Bible instruction. T h e School is being used m o r e and mo re as a central meeting place.

Report for 1932 .T O K Y O Evangelistic W o r k During the past year I have identified myself very closely with the Gotenyama church. Acting as president of the W o m e n ’s Society (at their request) I have m a d e arrangements for the monthly meetings, which w e believe have been a definite factor in promoting the spiritual life of the women. Calling on the w o m e n in their homes has brought m e very near to them and enabled m e to understand better h o w m u c h courage and love it takes for them to retain a w a r m Christian faith w h e n their husbands are indifferent, even though not actively hostile, to Christianity. In February the W o r l d D a y of Prayer was observed by a union meeting of the Christian w o m e n of the city, at which over 250 were present, including a good representation from our society. A s organist of the church m y w o r k has been especially pleasant because of the enthusiastic w a y in which the church memb e r s are using the n e w union hymnal which was issued recently. Each Sunday sees at least one ne w h y m n sung, and thus religious musical education is being widened. O n e young m a n told me, “T h e h y m n s m e a n mo re to m e than any other part of the church service.” • Besides this w o r k in the church, with those w h o are definitely Chris tians or inquirers, there has been m u c h quiet seed-sowing and indirect mis sionary work, chiefly in our o w n home. Mr. and Mrs. Luben, w h o are making their h o m e with us this year, are giving themselves freely to the

W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions

students of Meiji College and are exerting a Strong Christian influence. Each we ek a group of their students comes for fellowship and friendly intercourse, as well as practice in English. ■ There are m a n y individual callers also. M a n y c o m e to consult Mr. Stegeman about school or evangelistic problems. A young m a n of m y last year s Bible class ca me for friendly encouragement, as he is n o w in a large university where the temptations to loose living are very strong. A pro spective bridegroom came with a request that I play the wedding march at the approaching ceremony. After consenting to d o so, I sent h i m a w a y with a w o r d of counsel about the importance of Christian family worship in the n e w h o m e he was about to establish. S o they co me and g o -b etween eighty and one hundred Japanese entering our h o m e each month— and w e , are Stateful for the richness of a religion which is adapted to their varying nee S’ ( M rs . H. V. E.) G ertrude H . St e g e m a n -ru 0 u r S tree! Sunday Schools have been maintained with good'attendance, the public school system in Japan makes m a n y demands, upon the after school hours of the children. There are various school -duties to be per formed. For instance, each child takes his turn to help clean up the'room after school is out. T h e n there are always excursions, athletic meets and programs going on. These hinder the attendance of Sunday School chil dren all over the land. However, there are children enough w h o are eager to hear the lesson story. O n e ob the Sunday Schools, which meets m a Japanese h o m e that lends us a 'small eight-mat room', g r e w too limited in space for our numbers. W h e n w e told the w o m a n whose h o m e it is that w e were thinking of moving, she said, “No, I wish you would stay, for the influence of the Sunday School is very good for the children of the neighborhood. T h e y are m u c h better children no w; so I wish you would stay. S o w e compromised and left the smaller children there and took the older ones to another h o m e near by. In the older group w e can meet without an accompaniment of hot sweet potato, sticky candy and. cakes clenched in little fists and popped into little mouths. T h e older group are of course above such things.

The Settlement Sunday School has been a great success in numbers. T h e children are poor and bad-mannered, but the teachers have been splen did in bringing order out of chaos. A m o n g these children a group of older girls: gather from w e e k to we ek and are taught sewing, knitting and so forth, things they love to do. W e have been teaching them h y m n s and Bible lessons. These youthful minds eagerly drink in -all that is given them. Christmas at the Settlement was a happy event, with- about a hundred children gathered together, glad to sing the joyous songs and to receive the .simple gifts. _ The distribution of Christian literature has been carried on weekly as before. nurses. have, the this m a y

In two hospitals w e give out these, tracts to the sick and to the S o m e of the patients are in the hospital for a long time; so w e chance to give them a good deal of reading matter.-' W e pray that be the means of leading them to find Christ.

',' ' A n English Bible Class has been carried on with girls from a private school These girls mostly come from homes non-Christian. Through this and:other contacts with Christianity they are being d r aw n into the little church which has been erected in this T o k y o suburb. S o m e of them have been baptized and have joined the church.. It is not so hard for the.girls to keep up-their-church ^attendance and theiri interest while they are school' girls. However, the Japanese custom is such that after school years are over, a girl is expected to m a k e the h o m e the center and greatest interest in

her life. First she is expected to learn jail the domestic arts and give her time entirely to them. M a n y times the n e w wife is not at all free to do as she chooses about leaving her home. Therefore, m a n y of our school girls w h o become Christians during school years seem to lapse and to forget their church life during their later years. However, I a m sure that in numerous cases of this sort the wife and mother is truly a Christian. Ve ry often she tries to teach her children and sends them to Sunday School if possible. The Weekly Meeting with the Leper Women at the hospital is always an inspiration. These w o m e n are mostly Christian, though n e w ones, nonChristian, are always entering the institution and gradually c o m e to our meetings. W e have been having consecutive Bible lessons with them. T h e y all seem eager to learn mo re of the Bible. W i t h true Japanese feminine reticence they are shy about asking questions. A newly compiled Christian hymnal has recently been published in Japan. Everywhere, churches and Christian groups are learning the n e w songs in this book. O f course, m a n y of the old ones have been retained but some have n e w tunes replacing the old ones., T h e leper w o m e n have been studying the n e w hymnal and learn ing some of the n e w songs.

The W o m a n ’s Christian College M a y I add just a wo rd as your representative on the Board of Trustees of the W o m a n ’s Christian College. W e were sorry to lose Miss Alice Dorothy Buchanan as our faculty m e m b e r there, for she had done very acceptable w o r k and endeared herself to all by her friendly spirit. W e are glad to note the high scholastic standing maintained at the College through the strenuous efforts of President Yasui. She has been ill during the year, but has resumed her w o r k again, and w e hope will carry on at least until spring, w h e n the College will celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of its founding. T h e next most imperative need for the College is a larger en d o w m e n t with which to meet government requirements. ( M rs . H. V. E.) G ertrude H. S t e g e m a n . Ferris Seminary

Report for 1932— W e were glad to welcome Dr. Shafer back on the ° 14th of November, after an absence of a year and a half. It is a matter of great thanksgiving that he was wonderfully protected and preserved during the past year while he was so strenuously occupied with the Cente nary of the,Board and during his long journey back to Japan. W e are. also very thankful that the Lord watched over the school dur ing, the Principal’s absence and gave unity and earnestness to the members of the faculty in'the effort to attain the goal at which, w e are aiming. O n the return of Dr. Shafer, Miss Hayashi wa s elected Vice-Principal of the school. It has also been arranged for her to have one day. a week free for special evangelistic w o r k a m o n g students and graduates.. W e regret to report the death of two teachers.- Mr.'Ikeda had been ill since December, 1930. H e came to the school immediately after the earthquake and contributed a great deal toward the plans for the recon struction of the school. H e was a fine Christian m a n and will be greatly missed in the life.of.the school. Mr. Akiba died suddenly in October. H e was a former teacher in a Bible school of the Presbyterian'Mission and had a wide circle-of friends. ‘ ' '

Three n e w m e n joined the staff during the year. T h e y are all active Christians and all have had Imperial University training. Seventy-six students were graduated in March, seventy-one from the Hi gh School Department and five from the Domestic Science Department of the Junior College. Out of the seventy-one from the H i g h School six teen entered the Junior College Department. ' There was an increase of sixty-one over last year in the n umber of applicants for entrance to the H i g h School Department, 283 in all. A t the beginning of the n e w school year the total enrollment was 442," with 42 of these in the Junior College. .At the end of December the total enrollment was 436, with 38 in the Junior College Department. Parents meetings were held by classes during the year. Six such meetings were held. T h e subjects discussed were different for the different classes, but in each case the spirit and aims of the school were again ex plained and the parents were urged to take a sympathetic attitude toward any decision to accept Christ on the part of their daughters. T h e Ferris Association, the parents organization, held two general meetings. T h e association has helped the school in various ways during the year. Th ey continue to subscribe for five magazines for the library. They also purchased a magazine and newspaper rack, an office desk, a filing cabinet, ten book supports, guide and catalogue cards for the library and a sewingmachine for the domestic science department. T h e y also contribute toward the publication of the monthly school paper. T h e annual meeting of the A l u m n a e Association was held the first of June. T h e school and the graduates joined on that day in commemorating the Centenary of the Board of Foreign Missions. Dr. Oltmans represented the Mission and gave an address. A m e m b e r of the student body and a representative of the graduates expressed their appreciation to the Board of Foreign Missions for what has been done for the school. A s a material expression of that heartfelt gratitude the school and the alumnae together sent $75 to the Centenary Fund. Miss Tase, w h o graduated from Wisconsin University in June, came back to Japan in August. H e r sister is n o w in H o p e College specializing in music. Miss Sodeyama finished her college course at Central College and is n o w working for the City of Osaka in settlement work. She is .very happy in her n e w work. ‘ ’ Miss Hayashi spent part of her s u m m e r vacation visiting graduates in « the northern districts of Japan. S o m e of them she had not seen for six teen or seventeen years. S o m e of them she had been concerned about, since she had not received even N e w Year greetings from them, but on visiting them her anxiety was entirely removed. She found them carrying out the Ferrjs ideals in their lives, some as teachers and some in the home. T h e Y.W.C.A. is continuing its activities, holding religious meetings weekly. A s part of its w o r k the society sells lunches and school materials. It-also conducts two Sunday Schools for children from outside the school. This w o r k is under the supervision of Miss Zander. ' O n e of the girls in the graduating class of the H i g h School was bap tized a few weeks ago. H e r parents are not Christians, but they were very m u c h pleased that their daughter had m a d e this decision and in c o m m e m o r a tion of her baptism they m a d e a contribution to the school of fifty beauti^ ful pictures of the life of the Emperor Meiji. This girl was baptized at the K a m a k u r a Church. Mrs. Ukai, the pastor’s wife and a graduate of our school, writes that a lady w h o was present at this ceremony had already m a d e up her mind to send her daughter to a Government school, but the

importance of Christian education for a young girl was so deeply i m pressed upon her mind that day that she m a d e up her mind to send her daughter to Ferris. T h e students m a d e contributions toward the s u m m e r camps of three settlements; three cart-loads of old clothing were sent to poor of the city; and two boxfuls of N e w Year cakes were sent to a local settlement for distribution a m o n g the poor. Four girls helped in Daily Vacation Bible Schools during the summer. T h e w a y is long and seems dark at times and often w e wonder if w e are on the right trail. But the Lord has bidden us, “B e strong and of good courage,’’ and has said, “I will be with thee; I will neither fail nor forsake thee.” It is ours to follow and do His bidding, resting on the assurance of His unchanging promises. H e will appoint w h o m H e will for the task of sheaves-gathering. It is our privilege to have a hand in planting, which is equally important, for there can be no harvest without the seed-sowing. S a d a H a y a s h i , Acting Principal Christian Activities at Ferris Seminary— T h e weekly Y.W.C.A. meet ings have been carried on with class groups and general meetings alternat ing. T h e meetings are varied by praise services, social meetings, and fare well and welcome meetings to graduating and entering classes. A m o n g our speakers w e were glad to include Mr. Gedat w h o represents the Y.M.C.A. w o r k in G e r m a n y and, on the occasion of his visit to Japan, the Y.W.C.A. also. Another speaker wa s Miss Uchida of the Y o k o h a m a Y.W.C.A. A s Miss Uchida is one of our o w n graduates w h o has returned recently from a two years’ period of study in the United States, w e were especially glad to have her with us to give some of her impressions of the young people in America. Other speakers included local pastors of churches to which our pupils belong. O n e of the last speakers wa s Dr. Shafer, full of interesting experiences of his sojourn in America and his trip through Europe. W e think that these speakers have helped our pupils to realize that w e are of one great family. In the s u m m e r eleven girls accompanied by one teacher represented our. school at the Gotemba S u m m e r Conference for Christian School girls. In the fall these girls brought back enthusiastic accounts of their s u m m e r camp. During the year there were twelve baptisms a m o n g the pupils. O n e of the teachers also received baptism, Mrs. Taki, the sewing teacher. W e all rejoiced that she had found Christ by being at Ferris Seminary. W e hope that it will bring great joy and abundant blessings to her life. There are, as always, some pupils w h o are anxious and ready to receive baptism but w h o are prevented by their relatives. W e pray that a w a y m a y be found for these earnest young seekers after Christ. A t baptism these girls join the local churches nearest their homes whether they be of the Church of Christ in Japan (our Presbyterian and Reformed Churches) or of some other denomination. M a n y of them take an active interest in church re sponsibilities such as being Sunday School teachers and playing the organ and leading in singing h y m n s in their churches. These arts they learn while at school with us. T h e Sunday School at Ferris Seminary, conducted by Miss Hayashi with the help of three other teachers, has an average attendance of sixty" girls. S o m e of them come from out of town, testifying to their interest in it. A group of older girls teach in the two Sunday Schools carried on by our school Y.W.C.A. Others have such tasks in their o w n churches. E v e n with these gratifying evidences of Church and Sunday School at tendance, there are m a n y to w h o m Sunday is only a holiday from school.

It is our earnest prayer that they, too, m a y find a deeper meaning in the use of the Sabbath. In December the yearly campaign for Christmas contributions to the poor was begun. S o m e three hundred comfort bags were filled with food, clothing and reading matter and sent out. Also Y e n 107 was collected as a White Christmas Gift and sent to various charities. W e had one gratify ing experience of a graduate of Ferris sending a contribution of five yen upon reading in the Ferris Magazine the announcement of our White Christ m a s money-raising for the poor. This was certainly a gift from a generous heart, as five yen bills are scarce during these “hard times." This was fol lowed by a gift from another graduate. ■ A s w e look forward into the N e w Year w e are filled with hope and assurance for the advancement of the K i n g d o m of G o d in this land, brought about in part through the efforts to advance His N a m e in the Christian Schools of Japan.

If I were to tell about the things that take up the greatest number of the hours of our days, it would be a rather dull account of classes taught, papers corrected, etc., and it would not be telling you the things in which you and I are most interested. It is to the extra-curricular activities that w e turn as special centers of interest. This for two reasons:— first, because these are the things that m a k e one year stand out from another; second, because it is through m a n y of these that our Christian purpose is expressed more openly. The extra-curricular educational activities center around trips and visi tors. T h e fifth year class took its big trip to Korea and Manchuria. Local trips to the School for the Blind, one of the primary schools, the Telephone Company, the Sanyo Hotel and the Government Steel W o r k s at Y a wa t a added to their understanding of things going on in the world about them. A m o n g the visitors was an official w h o explained the workings of the jury system. T w o of the aborigines of Formosa came to sh ow the girls some of the tribal dances and explain their customs. Mrs. Hani, a famous modern Christian educator, the founder of a school that does not follow the government system, spoke to the girls. W e have also had the privilege of two visitors famous in the Japanese musical world. Mr. Yamada, w h o is well k n o w n as a harmonizer of Japanese folk songs, spoke on learning to appreciate good music. Miss Miyagawa, w h o has had training in America and Paris, gave a special concert for school girls. Perhaps the most out standing visitor was Mr. Gedat, a young m a n from G e r m a n y traveling in the interests of peace, good-will and understanding between people of dif ferent nations and races. Athletics has received, perhaps, more than its share of attention, espe cially during the fall term w h e n almost every we ek there was some match with outside schools. W e hope that the interest aroused m a y in some w a y be used to bring the joy of competitive athletics to all the girls rather than just to picked teams. The Alumnae received special attention this year through Mr. Hirotsu’s trip to visit the graduates living in the main island and Hokkaido. Mr. Hirotsu, who, with Mr. Kuroki, k n ows perhaps mo re graduates than any one else, wanted to take this trip this year while Mr. Kuroki, w h o is retir ing, could still carry on in his absence. T h e purpose of making this trip was, of course, to keep up the “family feeling” a m o n g the alumnae, to

help them feel that w e are still interested in them as individuals, that the “brotherhood of m a n ” is not merely a far-off ideal talked about in Bible classes. Another interesting bit of alumnae news is that Mrs. Yamamoto, a graduate and one-time teacher and n o w a m e m b e r of the Board of Direc tors, has translated “T h e Lamplighter” and had it published. It is dedi cated to Miss Bigelow, one of the former teachers of the school, and part of the proceeds Mrs. Y a m a m o t o gives to the school for a scholarship. In the religious life of the school the main special event was the coming of Miss Nishino, an experienced Bible teacher in one of our sister schools, for a w e e k of addresses to groups large and small and conferences with, small groups and individuals. T h e visible result of the religious w o r k done throughout the year is not as great as w e should like; only sixteen girls were baptized, but w e trust that the seed so wn has borne m u c h fruit even though w e m a y not be able to render a statistical account. W e m a y say that the public expression of the Christian purpose of the school centered in the Christmas program. T h e recently established custom of having a White Gifts Christmas was again followed. It was a beautiful worship service in which money, the labor of hands, and hearts themselves were dedicated or re-dedicated to the Lord’s service. T h e audience, which filled the chapel, seemed to catch the spirit of it, too, for there seemed to be an eagerness to participate w h e n the opportunity w a s given to share in the school's offering for the-poor. .' This year the Young Women's Christian Association has received more attention than usual, for w e launched forth on things new. Formerly, all the girls belonged to one organization and the meetings were held in the middle of the day and every girl was expected to attend. Feeling that the religious needs of girls so different in age as the first and fifth year girls could not be met by the same program, w e proposed to divide the Y.W.C.A. into tw o distinct organizations, one for the girls of the first tw o years and another for the third, fourth and fifth year girls. Furthermore, w e felt that membership should be voluntary, so that there might be some outlet for girls with the same aspirations to w o r k together. There were mis givings on the part of some that there would be practically none to join a purely voluntary organization, but it has not worked out that way. A l though the meetings are held after school hours, so that it means a real effort to attend, there are about seventy-five in each organization, all willing workers, and the most wholesome rivalry exists between the two groups. In working with the younger group Christian leadership is the problem, for w e began with no Christians in the group and only a very few from Chris tian families. W e have been very careful not to urge girls to take part in meetings, so as to avoid their leading in religious exercises into which they could not enter with heart and soul. It is most gratifying to see the w a y the girls have developed. W e rejoice in the blessing that has attended our efforts and pray G o d ’s further guidance in leading girls into a fuller and mo re abundant life. ' F lorence C. W alvoord NAGASAKI Evangelistic W o r k T h e young Sunday School helper w h o had been with us two and a half years left in the spring to take a teaching position. But without delay I was able to secure a graduate of the higher department of Sturges S e m inary, w h o has filled the place very well indeed. A t the Christmas celebrations of our four Sunday Schools the atten dance totaled nearly 350. Three of the four were held in the afternoons

and to these a very few of the mothers came. But the last took place in the evening, and w e were m u c h pleased that a few of the fathers as well as some mothers ca me to listen to the children’s songs and recitations. 'A dear Christian w o m a n w h o has three children in one school, gave five yen toward the Christmas expenses. T h e Christmas collections amounted to sixteen yen (against ten yen last year), which, as usual, was divided equally between tw o Christian orphanages. . O n e cause of gratitude has been improvement in some of the children during the year. O n e little girl, w h o at first could scarcely be induced to repeat the Golden Text after her teacher and was usually inattentive and unresponsive, by the end of the year was often the first to answer and rarely failed to remember the Text. A little boy w h o had been a torment to the Primary Class teacher was a model of behavior at the Christmas exercises. M o r e and more w e feel the privilege and responsibility of touch ing these little ones in their tender years. O u r little monthly paper, the “Ochibo”, has passed its eighteenth birth day. While w e began in 1914 with 200 copies w e n o w use 1500, besides which the paper has g r ow n from four pages to eight. W e have no means of computing the number of readers, for while doubtless some w h o receive it, leave it unread, w e k n o w of m a n y w h o after reading it pass it on to others. T h e wife of the Governor of Iwate Province, a school friend of Miss T o m e g a w a , writes that her husband, w h o is not a Christian, has recently begun to read it. O n e of our Sturges Seminary graduates living near us regularly received the paper but seemed very indifferent to Chris tianity. This autumn she became seriously ill. W h e n the December n u m ber was left at her home, her husband said that in the confusion during her illness the N o v e m b e r paper had been mislaid and that she was so anxious to read it, could w e give her another copy? O f the total expenditure for the year a trifle over one third came from the readers, the remainder from special gifts. O u r every-other-week h o m e Bible Class, which Miss T o m e g a w a began more than twenty years ago w h e n w e were in Sturges Seminary, still con tinues, even though the faces change. O u r weekly Friday evening class has had fewer w o m e n and mo re young people, both girls and boys, than last year. T w o of these young people were formerly in our h o m e Sunday School, which they feel they have outgrown. O f Miss T o m e g a w a ’s three outside W o m e n ’s Classes, one has not met since s u m m e r owing to the illness of the lady in whose h o m e it was held. M y ‘class of Middle School boys closed w h e n all graduated this spring. O n e boy had been coming for the whole five years of his Middle School course, and he writes from his n e w school in T o k y o of his gratitude for the teaching received. Before s u m m e r I had a small class of business m e n in English 'Bible, but this autumn I have had instead a class of Higher Commercial students w h o are mo re regular in attendance. T h e same young w o m a n w h o came last year for an English lesson, followed by a Japanese Bible lesson, has continued quite regularly. H e r patience in keeping on w h e n her progress in English is so very slow, is admirable. I can only hope and pray that the Bible teaching will bring greater returns. . M y n e w Sunday School helper, Miss Yoshikura, has been playing the organ on Sundays in our Mission Church and I have attended there Sunday evenings. O u r cook regularly attends that church, and w e were very happy w h e n she received baptism there on Christmas Day. H e r old mother, too, is becoming m u c h interested.

Ve ry near us lives an old m a n of 88, all alone, and dependent on the city for his rice. This year he began going with us to our Mission Church. Sunday evenings. H e is so happy to read the Bible and the Christian papers which w e give him. Each time, going to and returning from church, he bows profoundly to the local shrine, but I a m sure that G o d understands and will lead him to a true faith. This old m a n one day found a tiny lost child crying in the street and took her to the police station as he could not find out from her where she lived. T h e mother was very grateful and came to see him, and hearing that he went to church, she began going and. also, coming to our evening meeting and sending her children to our h o m e Sunday School. T h u s the circle widens. T h e independent church which Miss T o m e g a w a attends, and where I also go except Sunday evenings, rejoiced last year in the coming of a very fine pastor, but he was very frail and, after but a few months, went to his h o m e in the north on sick leave. T h e people built a tiny parsonage on the church lot, so that w h e n he came back the w o r k would be easier for him. But the Lord had other plans, and in September H e called Mr. M u ra k a m i to the H o m e above. T h e little parsonage stands as a tribute of love to him w h o truly w o n the hearts of his people during his very brief ministry. N o w w e have a young man, graduated this year from A u bu r n Seminary, w h o brought with him a wife from California, the daughter of a Japanese there. This bride went to America w h e n she was but two years old and naturally knows rather mo re of American customs and language than of Japanese. But she is young enough to learn, and seems very happy in the tiny parsonage. * O n e of the young w o m e n baptized at the close of last year is such a dear little worker. She is the only Christian in quite a large family and is so anxious to lead her relatives and friends to the Lord. She has influenced eight or m o r e different people to attend some meeting at least once, and in some cases fairly regularly. N o w she has asked to be allowed to help in our h o m e Sunday School. If those people w h o see no need for Missions could share in the joy of seeing souls born again and n e w Christians growing, surely their attitude would change. S a ra M . C o u c h , OITA Evangelistic W o r k . . All the w o r k of last year has been continued. That means, of course, that our chief effort has been the w o r k with little children. W e have rejoiced that there has been apparently no opposition on the part of the school during the entire year,— perhaps the teachers have been changed, a frequent occurrence in the city,— perhaps the youngsters c o m e in spite of their admonitions. W e don’t know,-but the attendance has co me up wonder fully during the year, especially in our Friday school at our home, where w e often have over eighty children, from babies up through the children of the fourth year of school. In the Tuesday school, held in a mat-maker s home, the children are m a n y of them from cafes, restaurants and similar houses. There this year has been marked by the attendance of all the tiny brothers and sisters w h o came last year on the backs of the older ones but are n o w coming under their o w n steam. T h e y are too small yet to do m u c h more than get “the Tuesday school habit” but that is a good deal as w e look forward to future work. In the early fall one of the Imperial Family, a priestess of the large temple in Nagano, came to Oita and held meetings for several days, which were, of course, very popular and which resulted in a Sunday School in the temple, to which a few of our Tuesday school have

IVOman’s Board of Foreign Missions

transferred their allegiance. I think they will return eventually, as did our little boys w h o were attracted to the Catholic fold for a little while in early spring. T h e Thursday school at the mill has had to m o v e once more, as the family at whose h o m e w e met was dismissed last spring. W e were a bit concerned as to our next meeting-place, but once again w e were invited to meet in the h o m e of one w h o has never before co me in contact with Chris tianity. W e feel that the Lord m a y have very special w o r k for us there, since the doors have again been opened for us without effort on our part. T h e children there have all changed since w e started the school several years ago, with the exception of one family; so w e have practically virgin soil once mo re in which to plant the seed. Mrs. Sato, at whose h o m e w e work, would accept no rent, saying it was enough if her three little boys became better children and learned something which would m a k e them good men. O u r group there numbers twenty-five with practically a full attendance each we ek and with the hearty backing of every mother, some of w h o m often co me with their babies on their backs to hear the lesson story. Last spring the t w o ringleaders of our Saturday night boys’ class finished school and went elsewhere; so the rest stopped coming until fall, w h e n four of them returned and asked for a class again. W e have been doing regular Bible study with these older boys and they seem to enjoy it and certainly listen carefully and attentively. Strange to say they dislike the singing and asked us not to have that, though one of them at least has an excellent voice. T h e y usually co me at six for a seven o’clock class! O n Sunday afternoon w e have a choice group of older girls from the N ormal Practice School, girls w h o have been coming to us for five years. It is a group of but fifteen, but I think w e are doing better w o r k with them than with any other class, as they are bright, thoughtful girls and have been coming so long that they have a good foundation on which to build-. O n e of them attends the school for the blind n o w as she has but one eye and will no doubt eventually be blind. She and her little sister of the Friday school are our most polite and appreciative pupils, yet their h o m e is one of the most ordinary. Both of them sing like birds— a great help in keeping the others true to the tune. M o n d a y is supposedly the rest day for all the Christian workers' in the city, but it has gradually become the day to which all sorts of meetings have been assigned. O n the second M o n d a y of each month the W.C.T.U. meets at our h o m e and as treasurer I still stand guard over our hard-earned funds. It is not a flourishing society, but w e have again helped a geisha to get away, and through Mrs. Utako Hayashi of Osaka, one of the great tem perance workers of Japan, she has n o w a position in a Christian h o m e and is respectably self-supporting. During the year w e also helped the Saga branch financially in its successful efforts to aid a group of geisha w h o ran a w a y from near-by licensed quarters at T akeo and asked to be helped. Again w e dressed and sold dolls w h e n the big tourist ships came to Beppu and w e hope that our good (and otherwise) American tourists will be in a pur chasing frame of mind next spring, as it is our main source of income. Every third M o n d a y comes the cooking class. Like-the Thursday school the membership has so changed that only one of the original group re mains. T h e w o m e n are so attractive and so eager to learn that it is a joy to teach them. T h e y are good sports and will not only try to m a k e anything I suggest but will eat it, once made, however m u c h they m a y fail to enjoy it. After class w e always have a little service, with prayer and a song and a short talk. T h e larger part are non-Christian; so w e hope' by this means to give them at least a little knowledge of the Christ. O n the

fourth M o n d a y comes the work-class for young women, all of w h o m are also in .the cooking class. W e have met each m o nth and are m u c h reduced in numbers now, as one by one the girls have married and gone away. T h e girls have copied everything I own, almost, and do such beautiful w o r k that it is a joy to see their things w h e n finished. It is getting a bit difficult to find n e w things to show them, as I a m not an expert in sewing and see so little of the things folks at h o m e are n o w doing. Alternately with Mr. de M a a g d of Beppu, w e have rejoiced to have in our h o m e the pastors of the prefecture w h o meet for an all day conference every two months. Neighborhood meetings have been held frequently with good attendance and w e rejoice that, as w e are longer in Japan and get a better knowledge of the lives and problems of the people, our h o m e is in creasingly a center to which troubled hearts co me to find help. W e have done mo re in our h o m e this year than ever before, because without a regular S. S. helper I have not had time or strength to do as m u c h calling and follow-up w o r k as formerly, except on the sick and shut-ins and therefore a m mo re often at h o m e in the mornings— a fact that soon becomes k n o w n a m o n g acquaintances. This year marks the beginning of m y second term of service on the Board of Directors of Ferris Seminary and I rejoice that twice a year this gives m e opportunity to keep in touch with old friends and inquirers w h o have m o v e d from Oita to places near T o k y o and Yokohama. W e feel tha the follow-up w o r k is very valuable and w e never fail to receive a w a r rn welcome. W h e r e it is not practical to stop over, others will c o m e to the station; so w e can at least have a w o r d with them and let them k n o w that, though’in lonely places, they are not forgotten. Christmas as usual marked the high point of the year for the children and once again on December 21st our rooms became an auditorium for 199 children. T w o little boys, tiny tots, insisted on sitting under the piano and, as there really seemed no other place big enough to squeeze them in, w e sang without the instrument and didn’t miss it. T h e greeting was given by a tiny tot of three, the daughter of a geisha, w h o did beautifully and looked beautiful, too, in her gala dress, the only one of the crowd to be “dressed up”. In the middle of the program a commotion arose and all the children began to get up and gaze out of the window. I investigated and found that a large snake was the attraction. W e stopped the program till all were satisfied, and then proceeded peacefully to the end. But, the end was not peaceful, as all insisted on getting their little bag of cakes and tangerines at the same time. A t Kantan, the mill program w a s held the next night at the regular place and w e were glad to welcome mothers, a father, and older sisters though it was a very simple program. W e write the h y m n s in big letters on a chart, and one little tot, just as I was to start one song, called out “It’s crooked", and I had to straighten the chart before w e could calm d o w n and sing “Ho ly Night”, the one they love best. Last s u m m e r in Karuizawa a G e r m a n Lutheran missionary taught us h o w to do painting instead of embroidery. It’s fascinating and gives m e one more string to m y bow. T h e Ladies’ Aid of the Oita church took it up and I held tw o classes for them in the fall and got the agency for the paint for the women. It has helped them a bit in aiding the church financially. Three w o m e n from that class joined the cooking class; so w e r e hoping to help them spiritually too. ' Another n e w line of attack presented itself last spring in the form of a boy I’ve k n o w n since he wa s a little tot though recently I ve had no special dealings with him. H e suddenly ca me to call one day bringing a little box of stamps and asking if I had American stamps which I d trade

IVOman’s Board of Foreign Missions

with him. Although I a m not collecting stamps, I had taken off some of various kinds' with a vague idea of using them s o m e h o w with the children; so I had some to give him. F r o m that time he has co me frequently with his stamps and insists that I trade, so perforce I’m a collector. H e likes to read and has taken all sorts of books h o m e and recently became a regular m e m b e r of the reading club of the Eiseikan, Mr. K uyper’s Newspaper Evangelism office. So, a gaima friend has been m a d e by most unexpected means, and I a m thankful that in m y childhood days I was interested in stamps and had a collection through which I had knowledge enough to help him in classifying his little collection. This fall one of our old Sunday School girls came to m e asking h o w one could learn to be a Sunday School worker. She is from a non-Chris tian h o m e and cannot go a w a y to school but asked m e to teach her so that eventually she can do that kind of work. She started- in with the Christmas preparations and helped us nobly. I doubt if she has the making of a Christian worker, but she has the foundation for a lovely Christian life and w e pray that she m a y develop into a shining light in her o w n corner wherever that m a y be. W e are so happy that this one young w o m a n has c o m e out definitely from our Sunday School w o r k with a desire to serve the Christ of w h o m she first heard here in the weekly class on Friday. A s I look back over the year it does not seem as if m u c h had been accomplished, but w e k n o w that the seed has been so wn and pray the Lord to bring in a rich harvest, pledging an ew our best efforts to use our talents, whatever they m a y be— our time, our home, ourselves, in whatever w a y the Master has need of them for the bringing in of His K i n g d o m in this country. ( M rs . H ubert ) M a y D. K uyper KURUME Evangelistic W o r k T h e Scripture verse “H e faileth not” has repeatedly been proven true in our w o r k during the course of the past year. H o w often w e have been m a d e to realize that our missionary efforts would be absolutely fruitless if it were not for the Spirit of G o d working mightily in the hearts of people! O u r Bible classes have been coming along nicely. T w o members of the business m e n ’s class, one a teacher and the other the head of the tire department of the rubber-ware factory, became Christians, as did0 also three of the boys of the Middle School class. T h e n again “A little child shall lead them” was proven true in the case of one of our Sunday School children. Through her earnestness and enthusiasm in retelling at h o m e the things she had learned in Sunday School, her father, mother and two older sisters became interested in Christianity and as a result, after about a year, were all baptized and are n o w constantly putting forth efforts to lead their friends to Christ as well as living exemplary Christian lives. T h e Ladies’ Auxiliaries of the Hainuzuka and K u r u m e Churches are doing fine work. In Hainuzuka the w o m e n again concentrated their efforts upon a nursery for the farmers’ children in a near-by village. Through this w o r k the whole village has become friendly toward Christianity, so that the pastor of the Hainuzuka church has been able to conduct a children’s meeting there regularly every week as well as an occasional meeting for adults. " T h e high spot of the year m a y be said to have been the K a g a w a meet ing in K u r u m e on the 3rd of December. For weeks ahead of this time the pastors and Christians of the four churches prayed and worked together in order that these meetings might prove a blessing. Almost 2,000 people

heard his messages and mo re than 300 signed “decision cards". T h e churches are n o w busily engaged in trying to lead these young seekers to become faithful followers of Christ. Gradually, as the language becomes easier, I a m trying to put more effort into w o r k with w o m e n and less into English Bible classes for men. It is remarkable h o w opportunities naturally open up. Last spring a group of eleven Girls’ School graduates asked m e to teach them cooking and Bible. T h e y have been coming faithfully every we ek and at the K a g a w a meetings six of them signed cards. We.still have our monthly meeting for w o m e n in the Post Office. S o w e go on with courage and joy as our experience in Evangelistic w o r k grows, and it is our humble prayer that G o d m a y grant that w e m a y do our little bit toward making this city of K u r u m e and its environment a place where Christ shall reign and where all those w h o have the opportunity of hearing shall accept H i m as their Savior and King. D ora E ringa KAGOSHIMA Evangelistic W o r k W o m a n ’s w o r k in Kagoshima has suffered no set-back. Rather with the aid of a trained and competent helper it is mo re flourishing and better organized than in previous years. T h e Sunday School which is held in our h o m e continues to dr aw the interest of the neighborhood children. Classes for different groups have been reorganized. This has resulted in better order and mo re efficient teaching Through the children the Sunday School helper has m a d e m a n y contacts'with the families represented. Calls and visits have been m a d e as time and occasion permitted. M a n y of the parents express their gratitude for Sunday School services which their boys and girls receive. During the Christmas season the mothers and fathers are asked to co me to the program in which their children take a part. It is a compliment to us to k n o w that our h o m e is often pointed out by the children of the neighbo hood as “the Sunday School H o m e . ” Several visits were m a d e during the year to the Sanitarium. T o those w h o are able to receive, the message is given through the printed page, and a wo rd of cheer and comfort. These visits have ever been welcomed and appreciated not only by the sick but also by the managers of the.nsmut.om This labor of love for the sick and dying has not been in vain. T h e message of the Lord Jesus always has a special attraction for those w h o are unable to be up and around with health and strength of body. T h e young w o m e n of the local church continue to use our h o m e as their meeting place. He re they meet twice every month. T h e y have been an aid to the local church in making themselves responsible for n e w hym 'ia’s in the pews. T h e y have also been a great help m the annual sales which the church as a whole has carried through. But, looking beyond the tangib e things of church life, they have given their attention to those city g irls " , are not connected with the church. For these girls they have arranged meetings. S o m e of these city girls cannot come in the evening , so some Afternoon meeting is planned for them. Others can co me only in the eve ning* so programs are planned for various conditions. T h e “Ladies’ Aid” also holds all its meetings in our home. N o other

financially, in giving aid both to the current budget and to various funds of the church for future needs.

m Â°nthly. meetings for servants of the neighborhood and church families were organized some three years ago and have been the means of great joy for the girls working in homes of well-to-do Japanese families, these girls are eager to c o m e to these monthly meetings, which are chiefly devoted to singing, giving of general information, and Bible talks Often as m a n y as fifteen are present. These contacts with the girls have brought us into touch with the homes where they work, and all the ladies are most appreciative of what these meetings m e a n for their servants. T h e y k n o w the girls are under wholesome and uplifting influences while attending such meetings. T h e Bible talks they hear and the songs they sing will m a k e an indelible impression upon their minds. Most of these servant girls come from the country districts, and life in the city is at times very lonely for them. W e hope such meetings m a y be the means of leading them into a deeper relationship with each other and m a y introduce them to the local churches in the city. . There are two very large tobacco factories in the city. O n e is located very near us. S o m e 800 or mo re girls w o r k in this one, and for these w e are carrying on meetings in our home. T h e meetings are held early in the**, evening so that the girls can drop in on their w a y home. M a n y of these girls have been led into the church life and have become earnest Christians. Th us our time is fully occupied with family duties and various meetÂ ings. W e trust the Lord for results which w e believe H e will bring about to His â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;o w n honor and glory.

Report for 1932 BASRAH Evangelistic W o r k T h e popular song of the season in m y Thursday Club of poor children has been “R o u n d and round the Village”. This verse is followed by In and out the W i n d o w ” and then “Stand and face your Partner”. “R o u n d and round the Village” m y w o r k has certainly taken me, and in and out the doors of m y friends' houses. All the conditions have been favorable— full time to give to the work, most excellent colleagues in the two Bible women, and mo re opportunities than w e could possibly use to offer our message of Christian friendliness. T h e depression m a y depress financially and lay a heavy burden on those responsible for the budgets of organized w o r k medical and educational, but the evangelistic worker can rejoice in a heart " as light as her pocket book. O u r assets of friendship, sympathy, and interest in the ups and downs of the M o s l e m w o m e n ’s lives are, if anything, en hanced in value by the universal hard times. Charity began at home, and at the outset of the severest winter in the m e m o r y of the oldest inhabitants, w e distributed all our w a r m Guild B o x garments and quilts to the needy frequenters of the Thursday prayer meet ing and others w h o m w e k n o w personally. T e a was served at these week y mejlisses and w e had the satisfaction of knowing that not only were their bodies being w a r m e d with tea and a fire but their hearts by nendhness and comradeship and their souls by the Comfortable words telling them o Jesus’ love. O u t of the same social class, for the most part, c o m e the children o the Thursday morning club. Their age ranges from babies >n arms through a selection of the naughtiest small boys in Iraq, small girls ditto, up to girls

in their early and middle teens. T h e latter are over-burdened with domestic cares and can rarely co me unless lugging a baby brother or sister, w h o hamper their activities extremely. But they enter none the less heartily into the program of games, songs, and story-telling, brush the flies off the baby s eyes assiduously w h e n they see the awful examples portrayed on the Egyptian health charts, and park their charges happily in the window-seats with Guild B o x blocks, while their elders settle d o w n to the sewing lesson There is a large need in Basrah for Child Welfare work, and for a simple socialized educational effort for the children of the poor and of the villages. This is a class that the Government schools hardly touch. T h e y are very appealing and the need is great. ' H o us e visiting is infinite in its variety and absorbing in its interest. N o w a d a y s I find that m a n y of the better-class w o m e n of Basrah are dis satisfied that Basrah is so far behind Baghdad in social progress and express the wish that they might unveil and go into society. T h e cinema is having its influence here; the newest development of our “talkie” house is a Friday afternoon performance exclusively for women. Old-fashioned w o m e n de plore these new-fangled diversions and lay all the faults of present-day life to the fact that the Arabs are adopting Western ways without assimilating them. T h e mo re progressive say that the Arabs must learn to assimilate n e w ideas and that w o m e n must have their share in the program of the future. ■ • Evangelistic w o r k is indefinite and uncharted in its boundaries, but it is profoundly satisfying in its richness of personal relationships. In the mat hut of the coolie’s wife and the beautiful town house of the family of a m e m b e r of Parliament are the same joys and sorrows. “R o u n d and round the village” every door and every heart is opened by the key of Christian friendliness. I cannot put His presence by, I meet H i m everywhere; I meet H i m in the country town, the busy market square; T h e Mansion and the Tenement attest His Presence there. “H e comes to break the barriers d o w n raised'up by barren creeds; About the globe from zone to zone like sunlight H e proceeds; H e comes to give the world’s starved heart the perfect love it! needs.” Educational W o r k

Basrah Girls School— Looking back over the school year there were a few outstanding events. Most of the time, however, went into teaching the three R ’s and carrying out the curriculum of an ordinary grade school. Each we ek ended with the Friday play period, which is as popular as " ever. Group games are a great favorite, and yet the team games develop a team rather than an individual interest. A few girls play Badminton quite well and w e hope m o r e will play it this year so that w e can have real team play. Christmas is always a happy event. T h e program is in the hands of the kindergarten teacher, and the little ones find us an appreciative audience. T h e climax of the party is the distribution of presents. W e are glad so m a n y of the girls enjoy dolls as the presents for the older ones are a great problem. In the spring all the children were vaccinated against smallpox. In times past this has been a great ordeal. However, they .are health-minded nowadays, and very few offer any objections or shed any tears. W e had a w e e k ’s vacation in the spring as there was an educational conference in Baghdad. O u r four teachers went for the w e e k and Miss Kellien and I went for part of it. It was the first attempt at such a con

ference and w e were surprised at the number attending. Eight or nine hundred were registered. T h e w o m e n were there, too, and the front ot the hall wa s reserved for them. S o m e of the M o s l e m w o m e n preferred the seclusion of the small gallery. After the regular sessions the members divided into groups to discuss the questions as they pertained to them, ihe conference memb e r s were entertained for tea in the garden of H . M . King Faisal, and he appeared and spoke very acceptably to the gathering. Ihe Minister of Education also had an afternoon tea at his beautiful rose garden in Kadhimain. It was interesting to be there,'near a M o s l e m holy city, where M o s l e m m e n and w o m e n as well as Christians and Jews were entertained together. T h e w o m e n were all invited to the palace to meet the Queen, but w e were not in Baghdad in time for that event. T h e children all have Bible lessons daily and w e still seem to be sowing the seed without any visible sign of growth. W e keep on c°nfi.4ent t^ the day will co me w h e n our girls will w a ken and there will be fruit worthy of the harvest. Total enrollment 9 0 : — Moslems 39, Christians 35, Jews 16.

Ta CKSON KUWAIT Evangelistic W o r k After being a w a y on holiday and getting back just a little while before Annual Meeting, it is not easy to collect one’s thoughts for a report of the year’s work. T h e evangelistic w o r k has followed the lines of other yea s. T h e w o m e n of Kuwait are very friendly, and there is never a morning w h e n there are not w o m e n and children in m y mejlis. Three mornings a w e e k are taken up with reading with the young girl w h o has been coming to m e for the last three or four years. O n Friday mornings another girl comes o have the Gospel read to her. T w o mornings a w e e k it is m y privilege to take the dispensary prayers at the W o m e n ’s Hospital. I cannot feel that there is any deeper interest in our message than in former years, and in fact I would not be surprised if the °PP0Sltl0nJ ^ greater, because last spring they estimated that about six hundred people went on the Hajj from Kuwait, and the greater part of these were women. In spite of the depression, and also because of it, the price for theJ ^ " journey to M e cc a was as low as two hundred rupees per person. W o m e n sold their gold jewelry at a high price to m a k e the pilgrimage. M a n y them never stopped to think about what they were going to live on w h e n they ca me back. Last spring w e m a d e a little change in our Sunday school arrange ments. Mrs. Gosselink had the Shah Riza family and Nurse jem.la m her class and I collected the w o m e n and children w h o were in the hospital for a short service in the w o m e n ’s mejlis in the church. I hope that in some w a y this arrangement can be continued. T h e services at Beit el Rabaan on Sunday afternoons have been fairly well attended by w o m e n and childre . It was a great pleasure to have Mrs. Gosselink in .the station for part of this year. She wa s always so ready and willing to co-operate in every way, and I felt w h e n w e left for our holiday that the w o m e n w h o were used to coming to see m e would receive a cordial welcome from her. T h e y all feel s T r ? that she has left Kuwait. Mrs. Gosselink also re-opened the sewing classes which Mrs. D e Jong started. W e look forward to a n e w year of work, hoping that greater oppor tunities will present themselves and that w e m a y be able to use them to help

O r Jin? ° { th! K u Y aj ‘ w o m e n ’s medical w o r k covers the entire year. Certainly m the number of dispensary patients there has been progress In 0 her lines, outcalls, inpatients and obstetrics there has been no appreciable advance over former years. IraniT iiH ytea"'S 7 ° r o ha\ been JCarried 0n W ‘th the aid of one nurse-an 1 Q g,,rlv!ra!ned !n Basrah— and our three former Persian women. There is no doubt that the hospital is understaffed. SU"?m e r wiI1r ■ « « re m ain in the minds and hearts of the Kuwait people as the year of the smallpox epidemic. It is hard to think of a town of fifty thousand in which scarcely a house escaped the disease, and the tobt e t h ? 3 °f a ^ fata‘ tyPe' There WaS n0t the sl'Shtest attempt to solate the cases, and attempts to vaccinate during the severest part of the epidemic were unsuccessful. This last month, the Municipal Government has opened vaccinating: centers. I have visited eight girls’ schools and will try to cover all the girls schools in the city. ,

th ° Ur jlmiCS, W ,er? very large durin& the s u m m e r months.

August was w 'th daily aLverae e attendance of 112 and reaching the peak of 1«0. T o treat that number of crying babies and impatient mothers in two rooms with one trained helper on a w a r m August morning is somewhat of 3n endurance test. It really would seem that there is no limit to those w h o will co me for treatment, and one rather racks one’s brain for ways of decreasing rather than increasing the number of dispensary patients. Obstetrical cases numbered eighteen, which is the same as last year. T e n of these w o m e n were delivered in the hospital, two of them were wives of mission helpers and the remainder ca me of their o w n volition or I finding their case difficult of delivery at home, urged them to come. This is the first year m which I have had a w o m a n in difficulty in labor actually brought to the hospital by her family. Pimncmlly the year has not been a success. M a n y bills remain unpaid and m a n y have been reduced to an absurd degree. Paying outcalls are few and clinic patients w h o pay are far in the minority. I sincerely hope that no cut will be m a d e in the appropriation for next year for the people of the town are poor and needy. • Morning prayers were held as usual during the year. I often feel that there is an opportunity being wasted in not having a worker talking to the w o m e n during the time the clinics are being held. I must include in the report m y appreciation of the services of Mrs. Mylrea and of M r s Gosse link in taking morning prayers. T h e latter was alone during the s u m m e r months and her talks and reading to the inpatients were m u c h appreciated by the women. I must also express m y thanks to Dr. Mylrea for his sup port and assistance during the year. N e w cases 5,557, total treatments 28,325, outcalls 246, inpatients 75 obstetrics 18, operations 146. E sther l bW i m d ’ BAHRAIN Evangelistic Wo r k T h e evangelistic w o r k for 1931-32 was carried on by Mrs. Pennings until her illness m November, and her efficient w o r k was an excellent example to follow. H e r illness showed us h o w m a n y friends she had m a d e

a m o n g the high and low. T h e poor always could c o m e to the house but w e were constantly surprised w h e n the better class A r a b w o m e n would send over to tell us they were coming to see her. Besides the usual calling on the w o m e n in their homes and at the hospital m a n y w o m e n came to see us at m y home. Every Thursday w e stay at h o m e and it is a very busy day. W e have all sorts and descriptions of w o m e n coming. In the morning from fifteen to thirty come, the poorest of the poor. Thursday afternoon w e have a better class of women. M a n y women, especially widows, ask us to write letters for them to Mr. Belgrave, the Advisor to Sheik Hamid, asking him to intercede for them in behalf of their inheritance. T h e w o m e n have learned that w h e n they have an inheritance they don’t have to leave it with a religious sheik or some other representative but can have the handling of it themselves. Others have come asking us to get permission to send their daughters to school. W h e n w e realize what a terrible struggle a lone progressive Ar ab w o m a n has against her intimate family and whole tribe and most of all against the religious sheiks, w e are amazed at their courage to dare to speak for themselves. O u r freedom in our homes and everywhere is a constant wonder to them, and I say to them that w h e n Bahrain becomes a Christian place they will have it, too. T h e W o m e n ’s Hospital this summer, w h e n the m e n were diving, was over-crowded. Th ey are so grateful for the skill and kindness of the doctor and nurses there. I believe our sincerest friends have c o m e after they have been in the hospital. This s u m m e r Dr. Tiffany had four babies given to her. T w o were born of unmarried mothers and t w o were picked up from the streets and brought in by policemen. This has never happened in our time in Arabia before. M y reason for writing the above is not to report on hospital w o r k but to bring up one of the needs of the future. These babies w h o m no one wants give us a wonderful opportunity and tremendous responsibility. If w e can take these little cast-offs and m a k e them stars in the Master’s crown it will be worth all the time and effort w e put into it. This year w o m e n have c o m e asking for lessons, which will be given. Several of the w o m e n w h o can read have been given Gospels and it is en couraging w h e n they ask what certain parts mean. T h e y read the K o ran without understanding a thing, but they tell us they can understand most of the Gospel. W e look back not on just a year’s w o r k but on the forty years of wo rk done by our Mission ladies and k n o w that what w e see just beginning to c o m e up in the garden of the Christian life is from the seeds of faith, love and prayer that have been sown. In closing w e wish to thank all those at h o m e for the material aid they have given us to help brighten the lives around about us. W e are grateful that the w o m e n of the church are so kind as to send out these things and above all w e are so thankful for their thoughts and prayers that have strengthened and sustained us throughout the past year. ( M rs . B er na r d D.)‘ E lda H a k k e n Educational Wo r k There is nothing very n e w to report— the w o r k has been regular; the statistics sh ow a- small increase as usual; w e are still over-crowded; w e still long for an additional classroom; w e still hope (in vain?) for another full-time teacher. Yet w e close the year with hearts full of thanksgiving that, such as it is, w e have this school for girls in Bahrain with its oppor tunities of touching lives and giving scope for all our energies to m a k e those lives fuller and richer in every w a y and above all in our Bible classes to

sh ow the Christian w a y and to point them to Christ our Saviour. Just after R a m a d h a n the school was deeply shocked by the death of one of the older girls. She w a s an A r a b of good family, refined and gentle endeared to pupils and teachers alike. She had gone to a neighboring island to spend the month of fasting and all month chafed at her enforced absence from school. A s the month drew to a close she looked forward with joy to coming back, but on the Feast D a y she was taken ill and died suddenly in a few days. W e were able to see her before she passed a w a y but she was very, very ill. H e r going was a profound shock to the whole school, and Arabs, Persians, Jews and Christians mourned her loss equally. T h e school co-operated with the W o m e n ' s Hospital in giving time to three of their local “nurses-in-training”, teaching them reading and English. T w o of these pupils were mature married w o m e n and showed an admirable ambition to qualify themselves for such a training at this point in their lives. W e had fewer parties than usual this year, since some of the days for them fell on Saturday or Sunday. This year w e changed our doll distribu tion from Christmas to the end of the school year and so rewarded the attendance for the year. T h e occasion was m a d e an “ice-cream party’’ and each child was surprised and delighted with a huge dish of pink ice-cream. I had a local vender in and bought his whole stock! I wonder what some of our “old time” missionaries would think of ice-cream in June in Bahrain peddled locally! T h e Club held regular meetings all the school year. T h e officers have developed remarkably in the ease, poise and dignity with which they officiate . T h e Political Agent presented the Club with a jigsaw puzzle at Christmas time and in their reading of newspapers and magazines the girls have become interested in other puzzles, anagrams and brain-twisters. In closing w e wish to thank the Sewing Guild at h o m e for the gifts of dolls and school supplies, which are m u c h needed and m u c h appreciated. ^ Enrollment 111: Moslems 69, Jews 34, Christians 8; average at tendance 41.

T h e year has been a very busy one. Both Nurse M a r y and Nurse Sundra went to India at the beginning of the s u m m e r and their absence always means increased w o r k for our hospital. Four babies were given to the hospital this year and two are living. O n e w h o died w a s ‘brought in from the sheik’s house, where the queen had given shelter to an illegitimate mother. A second w h o died was born in the hospital. T h e mother c a m e to the hospital alone and w e were obliged to feed her and give her a servant as her people, though well off, would do nothing for her. T h e two living ones are S a m m y and Paul. S a m m y , w h o is n o w about six weeks old, was sent in by the Government from a family of prominent people. H e is illegitimate and was going to be killed w h e n the Governrpent w a s informed and stepped in. H e was about a week old and starved. H e is now' doing finely and gains between one and two ounces daily. Paul was a husky lad to begin with and was brought in by a couple of policemen w h o found him thrown out in the street. T h e y bore him to the hospital reposing in state on a burlap sack! W u r d a is a young Bedawia w h o fled to us w h e n four months pregnant. H e r family according to custom were planning her death. T h e baby was born prematurely and died. W u r d a can read and was a K o r a n reader in her village. She is anxious to go to school, but as yet w e do not dare to let her go to'so public a place. H e r people have co me a number of times and

are of a fine type. This only makes the girl’s danger the greater as they value their family honor. T h e girl begs to stay with the Mission and does not wish to return. T h e Government has been very helpful in the matter, and the sheik expressed his apprehension that, although the father ap parently was willing to forgive the girl, his intentions were quite the op posite and she had better stay with us. It is a source of great satisfaction that at last one such girl was able to reach a place of refuge. This year several babies have been left alone in the baby wa rd to get well; that is, their families have not stayed with them. This shows in creased confidence and has happened this year for the first time. T h e medical w o r k in Bahrain is certainly “white unto the harvest". W e have only been able to take care of the w o r k that actually came to our doors asking and demanding to be done. Village people are asking for tours which w e simply have not had time and strength to undertake. W e are called occasionally to the villages for so me desperate case. On ce a poor w o m a n and her mother ca me from Zulag, about 25 miles, on donkeys. T h e y pitifully announced they had had to pay m o n e y for the donkeys and they hoped I could do something. In a few mome n t s the dislocated jaw was replaced and a surprised and gratified patient voiced astonishment and thanks. It looks like a busy°year ahead; activity is general and w e all rejoice in the prospective arrival of Mrs. V a n Peursem. Clinic treatments 16,606, obstetrical cases 85, outcalls 976, operations 104. M . N..Tiffany H aenggi , M.D. MUSCAT Evangelistic W o r k In all the w o r k w e are seeking to do, the words of the Lord Jesus to the sisters have a solemn message to us: “T h o u art busy about m a n y things— one thing is needful.” H o w to obtain a hearing for the message w e have co me to bring is a constant problem. This leads m e to the first study of the year’s .work, the semi-weekly mejlis. This w o r k has been continued twice a w e e k as heretofore, but it has had an unsatisfactory side, as well as a brighter side, because of the very evident purpose of several only to partake of the refreshments, to exchange some gossip and then to be off. S o m e ca me last year until after' Christmas, hoping for a gift. W h e n nothing was given they ceased coming for a while. These have n o w c o m e back for reasons best k n o w n to them selves. Yet in the midst of opposition and unbelief w e do meet with some expressions of interest here and there which encourage us to go on with our work. A few there have been w h o seemed to listen with interest and to follow what was said to them, w h o respectfully put aside their handwork while the Bible lesson was in progress and were silent during prayer. O n every hand, however, there is evidence that the people have been very definitely warned against our message. Realizing that, w e have cause for gratitude that w e can still bring the message to so many. On ce a we ek I meet with three w o m e n and w e have been studying hymns, reading a Psalm or some other portion and having prayer together. In the ruling family I have three pupils, two in English and one in Arabic, the latter an unmarried cousin of the Sultan. A fourth is not really a pupil, except t>f friendship— she is hungry for m o r e things than she k n o w s and mo re dissatisfied with her life and surroundings, and, I believe, her religion, than she dares to express, and so I try to give once a w e e k this friendship hour— and she has let m e feel in m a n y ways that she is ap preciating the friendship.

Shortly before w e went on s u m m e r leave the wife of one o f the Matrah hospital helpers asked for lessons in our Scriptures. A t the time of asking she said, “All these years I seemed not to care, but lately I feel hungry to learn and to understand.” This w o ma n , mo re than twenty-five years ago, was a pupil in our Bahrain Girls’ School. I arranged to begin lessons w h e n I returned from leave. There is still other teaching— that on Sunday w h e n the Baluchi children come, generally in very large numbers. T h e annual exodus of s u m m e r affects the attendance of these children, too, but all through the year w e have had all the pupils w e could handle well or teach. T h e number of pupils enrolled is 161. . . A few w o m e n attend Sunday morning services and then stay for a short Bible lesson after the general service. Since Dr. H o s m o n left on furlough I have gone to the hospital four or five times a we ek to give a talk to the w o m e n there. O n e day a we ek has been reserved for Matrah. Every time in Matrah there is a readiness to hear the reading, and occasion ally there are requests for it, and altogether there has been a spirit of friendliness toward the message that has been encouraging and cheering, which I have not met with in Muscat in general. T h e impression grows that Muscat— and no doubt Matrah, too— is a very wicked place, that there is wickedness of a sinister kind belonging to the1 Arabian underworld, a world of demons and sorcery and evil spirits. Only the almighty power of G o d can bring to life those w h o are dead in trespasses and sins, and all our expectation is from Him. “A n d Jesus answered and said unto them, 'Verily I say unto you,— if ye have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, “B e thou taken up and cast into the sea,” it shall be done. A n d all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.’ ” . ( M rs . D.) M innie W . D ykstra AMARAH Evangelistic W o r k

T h e W o m e n ’s Evangelistic W o r k in A m a r a h during the past year was carried on as best w e could with the help of Miss Lutton and Miss Dalenberg. T o them I a m indebted and grateful for the help they gave in taking their turns in the weekly prayer meeting and continuing the Sunday School w o r k with the youngsters on Sundays. Miss Lutton also continued giving lessons to the Sabean girls until the time of her vacation. Hasana also had her Bible instruction and she thus absorbed a great deal of knowledge. She passes on her knowledge to others, and is very keen to testify for her Saviour.) W e ek l y lessons were given to a poor leper w o m a n whose physical condition has become such that she is not able to attend our services any more. She always offered voluntary prayer after our lesson and talk. She suffers a great deal physically and it is very hard to see her thus. Pray that the Saviour w h o m she confesses to love m a y be her constant Comforter and Helper. There was a great satisfaction, in teaching her, to have at least eight to twelve listeners in her hut w h o heard the message and her testimony. . T h e wife of one of our hospital helpers, a very young bride, started instruction in the spring of the year. She is very promising. H e r husband is very anxious she should learn Christian principles. W e pray they both m a y experience a true spiritual life in Christ. W e n o w have a wonderful n e w room, a separate building for w o m e n ’s meetings and evangelistic work, situated alongside the church building. A

walled-in space, enclosing the building, affords a nice playground. H o w w e wish that w e had a full-time evangelistic worker to take charge of the w o m e n ’s w o r k and again take up the class-work with the girls. There is such a crying need for the uplift of these poor street waifs, w h o con tinually ask, “W h e n are you going to start our class-work again?” Limited as m y opportunities for w o r k have been, it has been pleasing to note the gradual increase in the attendance at services and in the interest displayed in our messages. I hope and pray that the good Lord, w h o alone makes our w o r k possible and successful, m a y use what has been done to the extension of His Kingdom. ( M rs . W . J.) C ora M oerdyk Medical W o r k In Medical Mission W o r k our ideal is to keep always before the minds of the people the purpose of a Mission Hospital. Just h o w far w e succeed in doing this, it is difficult to say. W e give relief to the poor, w e help the suffering, w e preach the Christian message. T o us, our purpose is clear, but w h e n w e co me to the close of a year’s work, w e ask ourselves, what does the hospital stand for in the minds of the people? It is apparent that from the standpoint of the w o m e n of A m a r a h and surroundings, the Mission Hospital is a place to which they can go in time of need. T h e y k n o w they will receive personal attention and be treated with kindness. T h e y know, also, that it is a place where they will hear the Christian message. It is doubtful whether any of them come for this reason, but they cannot help listen wh en the W o r d of G o d is read and explained to them, and there have been mornings w h e n some have shown a desire and keen interest to hear more. Throughout nine months of the year, the outpatient w o r k was the out standing feature. Daily clinics were held, but the Thursday clinics for the poor brought the largest crowds. In hot weather they began coming as early as six A. M., all being anxious to see the doctor and return h o m e with their children before the heat of the day. W e do not have the crowding at the door that formerly m a d e the day so trying, for they have learned that no one can co me in before her turn. O u r efforts have been directed toward keeping them seated in orderly rows in the waiting-room, moving toward the office door as the numbers advance. This has been achieved to a certain degree. Obstetrical w o r k shows a steady growth. In 1930 there was one case, in 1931 eighteen, and this year there were thirty-seven. A few of the patients this year were from better families and paid fees. In April w e had our first hospital baby, and since then six have been born in the hospital. I had almost no difficulty in persuading the mothers to co me for confine ment, although the idea was entirely foreign to them. These were all poor patients, but as the poor paved 'the w a y for m e in the beginning of this work, I trust they will also open the doors of the hospital to others of better means w h o cannot help seeing the difference that proper care and clean surroundings must m a k e in the lives of mothers and infants. In no phase of the medical w o r k have I had an opportunity to get so close to the hearts of the w o m e n as I have in this. W h e n they have trusted m e with the care of their little ones, their homes are open to m e at all times, and lasting friendships have been made. O n e does not expect to hear about Sunday School w o r k in a medical report, but I cannot close this one without mentioning the Sunday School conducted in the hospital waiting-room every week. In a w a y it is an outgrowth of medical work, for m a n y of the small boys and girls w h o attend have co me to k n o w us through the hospital work. W e n o w have

W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions

an enrollment of 70 and the pupils are surprisingly regular in attendance. T h e y were wild and unmanageable in the beginning, and often it seemed that to try to teach them was about as effective as talking to a pack of' jackals. But Sunday after Sunday they came, and gradually w e began to see a change. T h e y are learning to be quiet and respectful, and m a n y are eager to tell the Bible stories they have learned. M e m o r y verses and songs are their chief delight. A s w e look back at the year’s work, w e are thankful to have had the hospital as a means of giving relief to the poor and of showing them Christ’s love for them by wo rd and deed. A t the same time, w e recognize our o w n spiritual needs and shortcomings, and as w e look forward to another year of w o r k it is with the prayer that, with all the splendid equip ment G o d has given us here in Amarah, w e m a y render H i m m o r e faithful and untiring service and cause His gifts to fulfill in every w a y their highest purpose. Total attendances 13,243, total inpatients 25, obstetrical cases 37, out calls 331. C ornelia D alenberg , R.N. .

REPORTS

For the year ending M a y , 1933

CORRESPONDING SECRETARY In the early s u m m e r of 1932 the theme for the n e w year was sounded by our President at the M a y Anniversary at East Orange and at “Ladies’ D a y ” of General Synod at Kingston: “Launch out into the deep!’’ Little w e k n e w what deep seas w e should sail before the year wa s out or h o w utterly dependent w e should be upon the Pilot w h o alone could steer our course through the blinding fogs of the year’s uncertainties. N o special or unusual program has been proposed. For a twelvemonth w e have kept out of the limelight, for June, 1932, which rang out the Cente nary of the Board of Foreign Missions, rang in the Golden Anniversary of the W o m e n ’s Board of Domestic Missions. Reciprocating the considera tion shown us by our Sister Board in our 1925 Jubilee w e have refrained from any promotional plans except the continuation of the W o m e n s E x change, through which 150 w o m e n ’s societies have been placed in helpful correspondence, each with an Exchange Partner. S u m m e r Conferences furnished surprises. T h e . H o m e and Foreign M i s sionary Conferences at Northfield, Mass., in which our Boards have co operated from the beginning, underwent a significant change. B y popular vote at both Conferences decision wa s m a d e to combine the two in a joint conference, the direction of which is n o w in the hands of the “W o m e n s Interdenominational Committee of the Northfield Missionary Conference” with membership from both H o m e and Foreign Boards. T h e Silver Ba y Conference of the Missionary Education Movement, after celebrating its 30th Anniversary, ended its career as a separate conference, but continues as a S u m m e r Training School in Missionary Education in connection with the N e w Jersey School of Methods in Christian Education at Blairstown, N e w Jersey. A t the close of the Northfield Conference the Secretary of the Board was s u m m o n e d by telegram to conduct a study class for the wives of ministers attending the School of Theology at Pine Lodge, Michi gan, which has resulted in the organization of a more formal School of Missions at that conference center for this coming summer. A t Lake Geneva and W i n o n a Conferences, the centers of inspiration for the w o m e n of the Middle West, Mrs. Garrett Hondelink and Rev. Milton Stauffer were Reformed Church representatives on the teaching staff. At the Stony B rook Conference for Refo r m e d Church Y o u n g People, Miss Weddell led a choice group of our o w n boys and girls along congenial paths of missionary education. ° Sorrow ca me to us in the s u m m e r in the death of our friend, Mrs. Norris, w h o ca me on the Board as Miss Martha Bussing in 1896 and served successively as Secretary of the Ba by Roll, Secretary for Japan for eighteen years and Recording Secretary of the Board. Twice since then have the gates celestial opened for the triumphant entrance of those w h o have companied with us in service— Miss Harriet M . Lansing, thirty-

six years missionary in Japan, four years emeritus in America— the stars in her crown are m a n y — ; Mrs. Christine V a n Raalte Gilmore, pioneer from the Netherlands to Michigan, mother of missionary organizations in the West, President of the Classical Missionary Union of Holland, Grand Rapids and M u sk e g o n until the infirmities of age came upon her, Honorary Vice-President of the Board since 1895. N e w runners are needed to catch up the torch that falls from failing hands. W e are happy to have added to the Board membership, Mrs. N o r m a n V. Peale of N e w York, Mrs. George C. D e Bevoise of Flushing, Mrs. Paul E. H i n k a m p of Holland, Mrs. E d w i n G. V a n Valey of Bronxville, and to our Honorary Vice-Presidents, Miss M a u d Clark, a valued Board M e m b e r of former years. T h e resignations of Mrs. R a y m o n d Crawford and Miss Marion Benedict have been accepted perforce. Regretfully, but at her earnest request, w e have released Mrs. E. E. Olcott from active membership, but w e still retain her active interest as an Honorary Vice President. T w o predominant topics of the year have been the L a y m e n ’s Inquiry and the Depression. In November, representatives of the Board were in vited to a two-day conference at the Hotel Roosevelt to hear the Report of a Commission sent by a self-constituted group of laymen to India, Burmah, China and Japan to appraise the mission w o r k of seven denominations in those countries. Later our western members were invited to a similar meeting in Chicago. T h e published report, “Re-thinking Missions”, was generously sent by the Committee to every m e m b e r of the Board. T h o u g h no pronouncement upon the Report was m a d e by the W o m a n ’s Board, there was general concurrence in the statement m a d e public by Synod’s Board. It is interesting to note in the annual reports from all our Missions (See T h e Story of the Ye ar ”) that our medical and educational missionaries count their successes or failures not in the number of cures or passes, but in the measure in which Christ has come into the lives of patients and pupils. Well do our missionaries merit the confidence and appreciation that was expressed to them by cable from the Presidents of the Mission Boards and the President of Synod. T o capitalize this n e w attention which the L a y m e n have focused upon the missionary enterprise and to dispel some harmful misinterpretations current a m o n g those w h o have read criticisms of the report rather than the report itself, it is important that w e n o w promote with unprecedented vigor the education of the entire Church in the aim and program of R e formed Church Missions. H o w fortunate that for such a time as this the Missionary Education Department has ready a complete and fascinating study course adapted to every age from the Sunday School "Beginners” to the Adult Bible Class. Those w h o earnestly long to set Christ’s K i n g d o m forward will m a k e it their business to get as m u c h of this program as possible adopted in the- churches to which they belong. T h e economic crisis has been a severe test of the faith and courage and devotion of the Church, the Boards, the Missionaries. In November, in recognition of the financial stringency, w e pared our cherished budget from $175,000 d o w n to $155,603. W e reduced the allowance for “mission w o r k 1 5 % below the allowance of 1931 and proposed to the missionaries that they apply a percentage of their "maintenance” to the work. A "self denial fund” wa s proposed to Board members, missionaries, and finally to the Church at large. F r o m month to month, as w e watched the progres-

,sive loss in income, w e k n e w that it was due to the actual inability of our church people to give as they were accustomed and our hearts were filled with sympathy for m a n y w h o had “suffered the loss of all things.” In this emergency the headquarters staff deemed it a privilege to share in a sacri fice of salaries similar to that m a d e by the missionaries, other economies were effected, and the budget was further reduced to what seemed a more possible goal: $137,779. Nevertheless, w e approached the month of April with an apprehension that w e might go over into the n e w year with a heavy load of debt. Then, in ca me the hoardings held in banks, the funds that had been accumulating for special projects through the year, contents of mite boxes, proceeds of self-denial, penny collections that had mounted into dollars, and by special request the final emptying of local treasuries. True, w e have not attained our goal and the w a y before us is far from clear, but the situation is so m u c h less bad than it might be that w e are ready to sing the long meter doxology from sheer relief. T o o m u c h cannot be said in appreciation of those churches and societies and individuals who, with funds tied up in banks and personal incomes diminished to the vanishing point, still managed by sacrifice to meet pledges and to m a k e as generous contributions as they have. S o m e w h o had nothing to give pledged themselves to study and to mo re faithful prayer. T o o m u c h praise cannot be given to' the missionaries on the field and on furlough w h o have accepted their limitations with such wholehearted devotion that, as one wrote from Arabia, “Depression was cheated of his quarry.” Especially to be honored are those missionaries w h o have post poned their furloughs for a year to save expense of travel and those w h o have set forward their retirement in order that the difference between their active and emeritus salary might be used to return younger mission aries to the field. Oddly enough the reduction of salaries caused some mis understanding in the churches. “If our missionary’s salary is less”, some said, “w h y do w e give the full amount?” W e hope it has become clear to all that the cutting of salaries was a gift of Peter to pay Paul and that any diminution of a salary payment by a h o m e church or Classis would nullify the sacrifice m a d e by the missionary. N e x t year w e trust that both Peter and Paul m a y receive their rightful due. Total receipts for the Budget from all sources are $115,637 as against $148,348 last year. O n e of our regrets has been our inability to send out the n e w workers so urgently called for. Miss Virginia Reeves, appointed to fill a vacancy in Ferris Seminary, was sent with salary specially provided, but other young women, finely equipped, w h o have heard the Master’s “G o ” and the M a c e donian “C o m e ”, must wait till the assurance of salary and travel expenses opens the w a y to service for which they have long been preparing. In the h o m e office w e have tried to practise every advisable economy. It was thought best not to discontinue the little N E W S quarterly which, at small cost, conveys m u c h information to the societies. W e have not cur tailed the distribution of literature for program purposes nor the sending of speakers to the churches. Missionaries on furlough have given their time generously: in the east Mrs. D e Jong and Dr. H o s m o n from Arabia, Mrs. Korteling, Dr. Gibbons and Miss N o o r d y k from India; in the west Miss V a n der Linden, Mrs. Veenschoten, Mrs. Renskers, Mrs. Poppen, Mrs. L a u g and Mrs. D e Bruin. Miss Conklin and Miss Buss have con tributed their missionary experience, and voices of Board members can

always be heard in the land. Motion-pictures of the Secretary’s experiences in China and Japan have helped m a k e the. w o r k and workers real to con gregations, Sunday-schools and societies. 1 Missionaries w h o were with us last year have returned to the fields en riched in friendships: Mrs. Boot and Miss Green to China; Mrs. Barny, Mrs. V a n Peursem, Miss V a n Pelt, Mrs. Harrison and Miss Ruth Jackson to Arabia, Mrs. L. R. Scudder, Miss Wyckoff and Miss Jongewaard to India. B y marriage w e have lost one missionary and gained another. Dr. Tiffany, n o w Mrs. Walter Haenggi, completes her term of service at Marion Wells T h o m s Hospital this summer. Mrs. V a n Peursem, trained nurse, will take charge of the hospital until another doctor can be sent. W e d d i n g bells in Japan announced the welcome addition of Mrs. Barnerd Luben to the Mission family at Meiji Gakuin. Well-earned honors have co me to our workers. Mrs. Dykstra received recognition for 25 years of service in Arabia, Miss Couch for 40 years in Japan. Miss V a n Doren, w h o on Miss Wyckoff’s return to S herman School was released for a five year term of service as one of the Secretaries of the National Christian Council of India, B u r m a h and Ceylon, has been decorated by the British Government for distinguished public service to India.' Miss Sada Hayashi, having served most acceptably as Acting Prin cipal of Ferris Seminary during Dr. Shafer’s absence in America, has been appointed Vice-Principal of the School. Miss Holkeboer, during leave of absence of the Chinese principal of the A m o y Girls’ School, has been re called by the Chinese Board to the principalship. T o certain significant political events in our Mission lands, w e must allude as a matter of record, for they m a y become vastly important in future to the progress of the K i n g d o m of G o d — the entry of Iraq into the League of Nations, the invasion of China by Japanese armies, the promise of a n e w constitution to India. Local disturbances by communists in our A m o y dis trict, described in the A m o y Report, seem already to be bearing fruit in Christian seriousness and fortitude. T h e opening up of motor roads and bus routes in China is notable as extending the highways over which our Lord shall pass into the homes and hearts of the village folk w h o constitute so great a proportion of China’s population. A n d n o w a wo rd about our h o m e family. Only four n e w missionary auxiliaries have been reported, Eighth Grand Rapids and Grandville in the Classis of Grand Rapids; Greenville and Lincoln Park in the Classis of Westchester. Three other societies, though not formally reported, have appeared on our record for the first time, Cambria Heights and Williston Park, L o n g Island, and Falmouth, Michigan. Classical Committee appointments are as follows: Classis of N e w Brunswick, Miss M a r y Suydam,' succeeding Mrs. J. H. Cooper, deceased; Classis of Rensselaer, Miss Adaline Beekman, succeeding Mrs. George Pitts, deceased; Classis of Hudson, Mrs. William E. Prouty. Classes of Pleasant Prairie and Germania still unprovided. T h e W o m e n ’s Societies are increasingly ingenious in planning their programs and often put our wits to the test by their requests for help. O n e society decided to “Rethink its Budget” and asked for a detailed statis tical account of all the special objects to which it was contributing through the Classical Union. In the same mail another correspondent w rote: “W e have a w o m a n in our Society w h o doesn’t believe in Foreign Missions.

Please tell m e h o w to convert her.” A mother writes “M y spall son has been asked by his Sunday School teacher to get the latest information about our church missions.” A society asks for a radio program. W e m a k e one on Japan, but think h o w m u c h mo re fun the w o m e n would have had if they had prepared it for themselves. Others ask counsel about re-organizing their societies for greater efficiency, combining missionary and aid societies in one organization, starting a H o m e Department, giving a Baby Roll Party. Rather jealously w e have transferred all but the adult correspondence to the Missionary Education Department, which is n o w fully equipped for giving help to all the younger groups. Exceptions from this transfer are the letters that deal with foreign missions projects and special occasions, such as the Village Schools of India, the observance of Foreign Missions Sunday. Forty Village Schools are n o w supported in whole or in part by individual Sunday Schools. T h e missionaries engaged in village w o r k have 'surpassed themselves this year in supplying brief and spicy accounts of the villages to whet the enthusiasm of the supporters— a valuable contribu tion to the educational design of the project. ° A t the end of this difficult year w e thank G o d for “fleeing horizons.” W e have not attained nor are w e already perfect, but w e press on. “T h e ever creative G o d is continually doing n e w things.” W e follow after Him.

EDITORIAL A N D EDUCATIONAL SECRETARY Several reasons have conspired to lessen the sales of the textbook; only ISO copies are reported by the Board of Publication.

D E P A R T M E N T O F Y O U N G W O M E N ’S W O R K A N D MISSIONARY EDUCATION T h e year just passed has been one of unusual penetration into the pur pose and program of our w o r k with’the youth of our church. In the Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Committee and in the Missionary Education Council w e have been asking ourselves some searching questions; h o w far is the great need of the Mission Boards for support touching the Y o u n g People? H o w are they responding? H o w far are our churches making places for the services of newly inspired youth? H o w deeply does- the world's need of -Christ touch these younger m embers in our churches? A r e they being led into spiritual experiences that m a k e them want to share all they have with others? In League meetings and Y o u n g People’s Societies throughout the country there has been noticeable a n e w stirring of interest and enthusiasm in the world-wide program of our church, and m a n y have responded in a n e w w a y to the call of Christ for service in His world. Following the Y o u n g People’s Conference at Stony Brook, where twenty or mo re boys and girls from our Church Societies spent an hour each day considering the subject, “T h e Y o u n g People’s Share in the Missionary P r o g r a m of the Church”, m a n y letters and messages have come to the Church H o us e pledg ing n e w interest and better support. “I a m going h o m e to try to tell all the young people in our church about this thrilling job which w e ought to be doing”, said one boy as he left the Conference. A n d he did it 1 T h e fact that there have been ordered by our churches mo re than three hundred copies of the Y o u n g People’s Bulletin, “Becoming W o r l d Citizens”— which ca me out of the missionary activities-of Stony Brook, is clear indication that our Y o u n g People are more and mo re ready to “stand by.” Northfield Conference, which drew over a hundred of our church girls and Y o u n g W o m e n last s u m m e r has served also as an inspiration through out the year. “W h e n you see a church suddenly awakened to n e w mission ary interest, look for a m e m b e r w h o has been to Conference”, remarked a pastor recently. A n d those churches which were able to send delegates last s u m m e r to— Stony Brook, Northfield, Silver Bay, Geneva, Winona, Pine Lodge— have reaped untold benefits throughout the church year. Approximately .three hundred of our Reformed Church Y o u n g People are given these invaluable opportunities for leadership training each year. In the local church too,— in Leagues for Service and Missionary gather ings of the Y o u n g People’s Society— m a n y others of our youth have given themselves in a wholly n e w w a y this year to a consideration of Christian world-citizenship. Holding a missionary speaker long after his talk to ask questions, dispensing with m a n y of the usual social activities in favor of forums and discussions on live world issues, undertaking special financial obligations, and meeting them, in a year so filled with serious economic handicaps,— all are indications of an awakening a m o n g our youth which is fraught with, great possibilities. ' W h a t might happen in our country and our world if groups of Y o u n g People everywhere were to pause more and mo re often in the awareness of G o d ’s presence and let themselves realize what His purposes are for the world. W h a t might life be like if all the best and most far-reaching pos sibilities were set free in every individual in these groups? W h a t might each person develop into if he were to set himself wholeheartedly to create the n e w world of G o d ’s dreams? These are the searching questions which

our committees are facing and which are fundamental to all our activities. M o r e missionary program helps have been called for repeatedly by pastors and church leaders in order to keep n e w interests alive and start the educational process a m o n g those children and youth w h o as yet are not “missionary conscious.” This year has seen the completion of a cycle of Missionary Programs for Primary— Junior— Intermediate— Y o u n g People— and Adults on both the Domestic and Foreign missionary w o r k of our denomination. M a p s and other illustrative and supplementary leaflets have been prepared to enrich the program manuals, and no church n o w need be without adequate program helps for its missionary activities. M u c h of the Secretary’s time has been given this year to preparation* of this mate rial in co-operation with the Boards of Missions. There have been an in creasing number of opportunities to attend 'Sunday School teachers’ meet ings and other gatherings of leaders in the local church for the sake of demonstrating and interpreting these programs, whose very titles are in dicative of their value: For Children:

Our World Neighbors— Six lessons on the Foreign program of our Church.

Our American Friends— Six lessons on the Domestic w o r k of our Church. For Juniors and Intermediates:

Little Worlds of Opportunity, in a Big World— Six sessions on our Foreign Field.

Missionary Worship Programs— Six sessions on our Domestic work. For Y o u n g People and Adults:

Becoming World Citizens— a manual of Missionary programs for Y o u n g People.

Roadbuilders— an introduction to our Foreign Mission '

program.

Marching Thousands— a story of our Domestic M i s sionary task. O u r Y o u n g People are not only taking on n e w responsibilities but they are at the same time drawing mo re closely together as younger members in our church family. A noticeable trend throughout the country has been the working together and meeting together of boys and girls, young m e n and young women. S o m e Leagues for Service have disbanded in favor of a mixed Y o u n g People’s group; m a n y Leagues have arranged joint activities and mixed parties and study classes. There is a move, toward doing things as young people of the Church rather than in smaller specialized groups. S o m e Leagues for Service have during the year taken direct affiliation with the W o m e n ’s Boards of Missions and are making their contributions to the Boards’ projects instead of to those which are k n o w n as Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Projects. This move, added to the increasing number of mixed groups a m o n g our young people, materially changes the total s u m of con tributions from Leagues for Service. M a n y gifts, formerly coming from Leagues, are n o w coming through a different channel and w e are therefore no longer speaking in terms of a Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Budget but rather “Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Projects”, “Y o u n g People’s Projects.” There have been, even through this year of financial difficulty, m a n y encouraging n e w efforts in giving. N e w m o n e y has come through sacrificial efforts to offset some of the older pledges that have had to be reduced. There have been thriving

“Penny-Saving” and “Do-Without” campaigns a m o n g our Leagues that have yielded m u c h in both m o n e y and renewed spirit. T h e gifts for the year from Leagues for Service have totaled $8;228.61 for Domestic W o r k and $6,596.42 for Foreign W o r k — a grand total of $14,825.03. It was just a year ago that w e sounded the challenging question to our Y o u n g People, “A m I a bystander or a standbyer?” A n d as the months have gone by a glad response has continued to co me from m a n y groups and from m a n y individuals. “Y o u m a y count on us,” is their answer. “W e will stand by!” A n d in this steadily increasing response w e take hope for the future. There is m u c h to be done with our youth,— prejudices to be broken down, interests to be stirred, talents and skills to be seized upon, enthu siasms to be brought into harmony with Christ’s spirit, hearts to be dedicated to His service. W e face the challenge of the future. T e n thousand "League members, twenty thousand Y o u n g People, working — praying— studying together — what shall not be accomplished with such a host? S ue W eddell , Secretary.

THE BABY ROLL F e we r names have been added to the B a b y Roll this year— a total of only 186. ' O f this number over one third have co me from the churches of M i c h igan, and the only twins from the First Church, Muskegon, Michigan. Three missionary babies are included— two in Japan and one in China. M a y w e hope that it will be possible to enroll a m u c h larger number during the coming year and in this w a y materially help the “Pity Little Children H o m e ” jin China, and the “Hospital Babies’ H o m e ” in India. In these Christian homes the children learn to k n o w and love our Saviour, who, w h e n on earth, “T o o k the little ones in His arms, put his hands upon them and blessed them.” “In In In In

the heart of a bulb is the promise of spring; a little blue egg, there’s a bird that will sing; the soul of a seed is the hope of the so d ; the heart of a child is the K i n g d o m of God.” C aroline R a v en V a n N uis, Secretary.

Report of Sewing Guild

T H E SEWING GUILD O u r thoughts are first drawn to the h o m e side of the work. In read-, ing the letters which accompany the boxes as they co me from the Auxiliaries, I have been deeply impressed with the spirit in which the w o r k has been accomplished. M a n y letters co me to m e telling of the great joy, pleasure and blessing which have co me while having a share in this noble work. In no other calling can w e find such an appreciative group as the ones to w h o m the boxes are sent. T h e first “T h a n k you • letter came from A r a b i a “T h e Guild Boxes have arrived and they are all most welcome and the contents are helping to fill an acute need. O u r in-patients have been so m u c h mo re numerous this year that it has m a d e d emand for sup plies more than twice our former need. Also w e have six infants, four of which are Mission Babies and the fifth practically so as his mother is the servant in partial charge of the infants. Bertis, the first, is n o w two years old. Yusef is almost one year; Abdullah is over a year old and will soon be returned to his parents. T h e other three are illegitimate children, two of which were picked up by the police and brought to us. Clothing for such as these will be most welcome both for hot and cold weather. “W e are grateful for the lovely supplies that have co me to us”, writes another. “For sheets, pillow-cases, towels, soap, quilts and blankets, also for the dressings, bandages and gauze. W e do so appreciate the Guild . Boxes and really it would be quite impossible to ‘carry on’ the w o r k without *$ the help they give. W e hope m a n y will feel m o ve d to send boxes next year as the hospitals need not pay duty and the supplies are needed so much.” A n evangelistic worker writes: “Y o u have m a d e m e so happy with such a generous supply of w a r m garments. T h e winter will be a most difficult one for the poor. O u r cold weather has begun early and there are lots of poor and needy this year. S o m e of the w a r m garments have already been given to mothers for their babies.” . F r o m India w e have an account of the pleasure derived from the things sent there: “W h a t a delightful afternoon I had unpacking your beautiful Guild Bo x! T h a n k you and all the dear people w h o prepared all the lovely things.. T h e y are fine— never better, and I feel so rich in the knowl edge of all that joy stored up in the store-room for so m a n y poor people. T h e big full petticoats are such pretty patterns this year. I gave one of the pretty blue sacques last Sunday to beautify a plain white dress for a baby w h o was to be baptized, and it appeared for the ceremony minus the dress, clad only in the sacque put on hindside before. T h e quilts, blankets and knitted mufflers are lovely. T h e dolls and toys are wonderful and those little flannel dresses will be keeping m a n y shivering babies w a r m in these d a m p and chilly days of the monsoon.” Another writes: “Y o u will be interested to hear, I know, that the box which you so carefully packed has come and w e didn't lose m u c h time in opening it and packing things a w a y in the Guild B o x Almirah. A n d wouldn’t you like to ,be around w h e n w e missionaries get together the next few days and invariably ask, ‘Did you get a nice Guild B o x ? ’ ‘Did you get what you .wanted?’ ‘Did you get the baby slips and blankets you asked for?’, etc. I was delighted with mine and it will go a long w a y to provide for oiir 300 village children. I teally w a s agreeably surprised to get so m a n y substantial things, realizing the financial condition at home, and I a m

sure m a n y things were sent at a great sacrifice on the part of the givers.” F r o m another worker w e hear: “T h e boxes were so generous and it was such a pleasure to receive them. I a m glad so m a n y of the baby slips were flannel. Th ey are a joy to give w h e n you k n o w that most of the babies haven’t as m u c h as a mat to sleep on, nothing between their naked ■bodies and the d a m p m u d floor. I have been going over and sorting for the various village Christmas parcels. Things seem almost too good, and yet w h y shouldn't w e give even the poorest something really nice n o w and then? O f course, the duty on everything is high, but all the same w e could not begin to buy .all the things w e find in the boxes for what w e pay in duty, freight, etc.; so I vote for the continuance of the Sewing Guild with both hands. W e are beginning to be very busy with Christmas prepara tions. O u r W o m a n ’s Dorcas Society is sewing on cloths for fifteen or twenty children in the poorest quarter of our village to m a k e them fit to go to school. W e are n o w taking the ‘untouchables’ into our caste girls’ and boys’ schools. So far there has been very little objection, but w e do feel w e must help them to come to school clean.” F r o m a grateful doctor comes this message: “I wish you could come out to visit, us and see your' boxes unpacked for once. It was such fun opening mine because there were so m a n y useful and lovely things in it, and everything had been so well packed that not a thing was broken or spoiled, and so m a n y people can have a share and will unite with m e in thanking our Heavenly Father w h o inspired and helped you and the devoted w o m e n w h o have worked and sacrificed to m a k e it possible. T h e daily call for bandages in the morning dispensary w o r k never ceases, and there is constant use of the towels and soap that were sent me. Since the hospital has been rebuilt I have such a fine large store ro om with its m a n y shelves, a great contrast to the narrow little one I had before, and it is a joy to spread out so that w e can see things. I wish you could peek in and see h o w nice things look. After unpacking your lovely boxes of hospital supplies, one of our nurses came up and said, ‘W e need this and that for the wards’, and I said with great satisfaction, ‘There they are; help yourself’. T h e nurses hailed with joy the bright little crib blankets for the children’s ward and the maternity department. T h e picture-rolls and cards are very welcome and w e can use so m a n y of them. A n d here I a m sending such a list for next year s boxes, I a m forgetting h o w hard are the times in the beloved homeland, and the marvel of there being Sewing Guild boxes at all w h e n the need at h o m e is so great. Forgive me, please!" ; 5'31? w e as*c a S reater reward for our wo rk of the past or a greater inspiration for our efforts of the future than are found in the words of a native nurse in one of the hospitals in India? She writes: “Y o u love the people of India; therefore you send these things.” M y w o r k in the Sewing Guild has acquainted m e with the missionaries and their problems, their hopes and their joys, and in a sense has brought m e into quick sympathy with the people themselves. Thus, through the Sewing Guild as through other avenues, w e are drawing closer to these people, understanding them better and helping them more effectively in their development, and surely this brings with it sufficient incentive to continue our w o r k with unabated interest.

C O M M I T T E E O N LIFE A N D M E M O R I A L M E M B E R S H I P Y o u r Chairman begs to present the following for 1932-1933: O n e n a m e placed on Memorial Membership Roll— that of M rs . W illiam S. D enison of Marble Collegiate Church, N e w York. Twenty-four Life Memberships— less than half the usual number. Y o u r Chairman has refrained from making a special appeal for this particular form of service— lest it should detract from the gifts to regular obligations— there having been, as w e must sorrowfully acknowledge, a marked tendency, w h e n it has been necessary to reduce the size of budgets, to begin with benevolences. After long and serious consideration your Chairman has been led to believe that, as the soul of Life Membership is “Intercessory Prayer”— for the worker and her endeavors to promote the growth of G o d ’s K i n g d o m in Foreign Lands, efforts to procure Life Memberships should have been redoubled— rather than curtailed. Certainly a church’s influence and strength is increased by the number of those w h o are earnestly and con stantly in communication with the Source of all power for specified workers. This is the form of service which is exclusively offered to Life M e m bers of the Foreign B o a r d ; therefore w e unhesitatingly recommend it for serious consideration by the Auxiliaries. In this time of testing— have w e failed to lay hold of the innumerable promises of G o d ? Christ said:— “Ask, and it shall be given you— For everyone that asketh, receiveth”— “Whatever ye shall ask of the Father, in M y name, H e shall give it to you.” Again— “According to your faith be it unto you.” “Bring ye all' the tithes into the storehouse that there m a y be meat in M i n e house, and prove M e n o w herewith, saith the G o d of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be r o o m to receive it.” Recalling these promises, m a y our Life Memberships be in future an outstanding method of procuring the so m u c h needed help which is so graciously offered. • In relinquishing the chairmanship of this committee, I feel somewhat like a mother— transferring the care of a m u c h loved thirteen year old child to another. However, it is done with the firm conviction .that the n e w guardian will so train and nourish the child that it will increase in strength and efficiency— and prove to be a strong, and yet stronger factor in promoting the w o r k of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in Foreign Lands. A daline W. S tillwell , Chairman.
